Louisiana residents are being warned that 'the worst is yet to come' as Tropical Storm Barry slowly creeps through the state, dumping heavy rain on already flooded areas
St. Mary Parish, Louisiana A day after Tropical Storm Barry crashed into the US as a hurricane, 11 million people are now under the gun for epic flooding.
As of Sunday afternoon, Barry was crawling across Louisiana at just 9 mph -- slower than a bicyclist. That means it's still hovering over the same state where it made landfall Saturday, dumping copious amounts of rain on cities already deluged.
