Attempted to get downtown this morning and couldn’t even make it over the Elysian Fields overpass. Snapped these two pics heading back to the house.

Since when did they start issuing warnings for water spouts? They occur all the time under summertime storms.

There's a difference between traditional water spouts and tornadic water spouts. I'm guessing this was the latter.

Apparently, over 6 inches of rain have fallen in parts of New Orleans. The pumps can't handle that much in a short period.

When the water spout comes on land it becomes a Tornado and there are a lot of water spouts morphing into tornadoes right now.

I'll just steal this straight from Wiki:
quote:
Waterspouts that are not associated with a rotating updraft of a supercell thunderstorm are known as "non-tornadic" or "fair-weather waterspouts", and are by far the most common type. Fair-weather waterspouts occur in coastal waters and are associated with dark, flat-bottomed, developing convective cumulus towers. Waterspouts of this type rapidly develop and dissipate, having life cycles shorter than 20 minutes.[11]
They usually rate no higher than EF0 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, generally exhibiting winds of less than 30 m/s (67 mph; 108 km/h).[12] They are most frequently seen in tropical and sub-tropical climates, with upwards of 400 per year observed in the Florida Keys.[13] They typically move slowly, if at all, since the cloud to which they are attached is horizontally static, being formed by vertical convective action instead of the subduction/adduction interaction between colliding fronts.[13][14] Fair-weather waterspouts are very similar in both appearance and mechanics to landspouts, and largely behave as such if they move ashore.[13]
quote:
"Tornadic waterspouts", also accurately referred to as "tornadoes over water", are formed from mesocyclones in a manner essentially identical to land-based tornadoes in connection with severe thunderstorms, but simply occurring over water.[15] A tornado which travels from land to a body of water would also be considered a tornadic waterspout.[16] Since the vast majority of mesocyclonic thunderstorms occur in land-locked areas of the United States, true tornadic waterspouts are correspondingly rarer than their fair-weather counterparts in that country. However, in some areas, such as the Adriatic, Aegean and Ionian seas, tornadic waterspouts can make up half of the total number.[17]

Pumps are definitely working. I’m watching water rolling down the street. It’s just a shite ton of water. Everywhere in the metro area is getting blasted.
