2011’s TWELFTH STORM FROM TROPICAL DEPRESSION 13 TO TROPICAL STORM LEE IN GULF OF MEXICO ON SEPT 2 TO DYING IN NORTHEAST USA ON SEPT 7 Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance For Disaster Reduction

SEPTEMBER 2: TROPICAL DEPRESSION 13 BECAME TROPICAL STORM LEE

SEPTEMBER 2: FLORIDA BEING SANDWICHED BY LEE AND KATIA

SEPT 2: Lee is about 295 km (185mi) miles southwest of the mouth of the Mississippi River, heading north at 3 kph (2 mph); the slow pace means that it could be a SUPER SOAKER rainmaker BEFORE AND AFTER landfall on Sept 3.

SEPT 2: Almost half the oil production in the Gulf of Mexico and a third of natural gas output in Lee’s path were shut down.

SEPT 2: Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour declared a state of emergency in several counties expected to be hit with heavy rain of cm (10-20 in) as Lee nears.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal declared states of emergency in ten Louisiana parishes, and officials urged voluntary evacuations in parts of Lafourche Parish and Grand Isle.

SEPTEMBER 3: FORECAST FOR LEE

SEPT 3:LANDFALL FOR LEE The storm is expected to make landfall on the central Louisiana coast late Saturday and turn east toward New Orleans, where it will provide the biggest test of rebuilt levees since Hurricane Gustav struck on Labor Day 2008.

SEPT 3: LEE: DOWNED TREE IN NEW ORLEANS

The prospect of flooding in low-lying New Orleans evoked 2005’s memories of Hurricane Katrina, which flooded 80 percent of the city, killed 1,500 people, and caused more than $80 billion in damage.

SEPT 4: At 8 a.m. EDT, the National Hurricane Center said Lee's center had come ashore on the Louisiana coast about 80 km (50 mi) west of Lafayette, LA with maximum sustained winds of 75 kph (45 mph) headed north at 5 kph (3 mph)

As Lee weakens in the coming days, the system is expected to unleash heavy rains over a wide area of the central Gulf Coast and the Tennessee Valley as it moves northeastward.

LOUISIANA

SEPT 4: NEW ORLEANS escaped without a Katrina- type, breached-levee, flooding disaster and no deaths, but the city had some local flooding and tens of thousands were without power.

SEPT 4: Since Thursday (Sept 1), parts of New Orleans had as much as 37 cm (15 in) of rain; 40 cm (16 in) in nearby Gretna, and over 27 cm (11 in) in parts of St. Bernard and Jefferson parishes.

SEPT 4: OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION RESUMED Exxon Mobile and Royal Dutch Shell returned workers to some oil and natural gas platforms as Tropical Storm Lee moved out of the Gulf of Mexico, drenching LA, MS, and AL as it accelerated to the east-northeast.

The Birmingham Shuttlesworth-International Airport received 16 cm (6.69 in) of rain between midnight and 8 p.m., breaking the record of 5 cm (2.1 in) set on the same day in 1949.

The auditorium of Pinson Valley High School collapsed during the night (therefore, no deaths), leaving 1-1 ½ m (3-5 ft) of rain standing in the building.
