Tropical Storm Karen - Evacuations in Louisiana

Even though she is only a tropical storm, the people of Louisiana are no strangers to flooding and hurricane-type weather! Grand Isle Mayor David Camardelle is not taking any chances and has called for voluntary evacuations.  As of Thursday evening these are still voluntary.  But if the storm intensifies the mayor may issue a mandatory evacuation.

New Orleans is not calling for any evacuations at this time, but is heavily monitoring the situation.

Tropical Storm Karen is headed towards the southeastern tip of Louisiana and the southern coasts of Mississippi and Alabama.  The western tip of Florida may also be affected.  Stay tuned to The Weather Channel for up-to-date coverage on the storm!  Below you will find an image from The Weather Channel of Tropical Storm Karen's projected path.
