Louisiana hit by tropical storm Cindy

Saturday, 06 Jul, 2005 0

Tropical Storm Cindy moved unto Louisiana shorts last night, delivering 70 mph winds, sideways rain and intermittent squalls.

St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesman Capt. Mike Sanders said the low-lying coastal parish had seen much worse, but residents were still keeping a watchful eye on the storm — as well as Tropical Storm Dennis, which was brewing in the Caribbean but would likely arrive in the Gulf of Mexico by the weekend reported the Associated Press.

“Our main concern with Cindy is that she’ll come along the coastline, like it here, and stay awhile,” Sanders said. “We like tourism, we know people enjoy it here, but in Cindy’s case, we hope she just keeps on going.”

Shell Oil Co. said 56 people were evacuated from offshore facilities in the Gulf of Mexico and Chevron Texaco said it had started evacuations.

Numerous flights in and out of the New Orleans airport were canceled and Amtrak suspended passenger rail service to and from the city until Wednesday afternoon.

July 5 is the earliest date on record for four named storms to have formed in the Atlantic basin, the hurricane center said.
