Tropical Storm Lee crawled onto southern Louisiana’s coast today as New Orleans prepared for one of the biggest tests of its flood defences since Hurricane Katrina devastated the city in 2005.
The National Hurricane Center said Lee’s centre was about 125 miles west-southwest of New Orleans, with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph at around 11 am EDT, and tropical storm-force winds extending 275 miles.
