NEW ORLEANS— As heavy rain sweeps through the metro-area, parking restrictions are lifted in New Orleans so that residents can move their vehicles to higher ground.

Those restrictions are lifted until 6:00 p.m. on May 18. Remember to stay clear from blocking streetcar tracks, sidewalks and bike paths.

Peyton LoCicero with our Good Morning New Orleans crew was out chasing the storm all morning long. This is what the Carrollton Underpass looked like as our WGNO crew keeps a close eye on the roads in Mid City for flooding.
