Intro Tropical storm Alberto has been downgraded to a tropical depression. Tonight. It continues to move across Texas and Mexico flooding is continuing to be a problem. Take a look at this video showing Mexican first responders, rescuing stranded drivers in the city of Monterey. So far, at least three deaths have been blamed on the storm. Coastal flooding And even though the storm is hundreds of miles away, it really has caused more coastal flooding in Louisiana. This morning. A strong wind gusts have pushed water onto roads and people's property, Eleanor Dubon joining us now live from Venetia. That's right, Katie and she just take a look at all this water still in Venetian Island. Now, I know our crews were out here last night, but I'm here today and the water uh further back, I walked all the way down to those letter boxes back there where that white letter box, the water was close to being over my knees. We spoke to some residents who lives right around the corner and they said that the water is above their knees. But the residents I spoke to say that they deal with flooding like this often, especially if there are some strong winds coming from the east. The water from, uh, Lake Katherine and Lake Bourne just flows into this residential neighborhood. And they told me it's just a part of living in Venetian Isles. Well, it's part of living, you know, outside the, uh, protection system. You know, I mean, you, whenever you have AAA storm, you know, or an event in the Gulf, you know, we're gonna get this, you know, this isn't a daily occurrence, obviously. But um it's just part of living in paradise, I guess, Katie and Sheri, I will say since we've been here for the last hour and a half, two hours, the water has receded significantly. We're seeing part of the road now visible, but again, not many low lying cars are going through the only cars that we're seeing traveling past uh high trucks. A lot of the cars are lined up on the roadway behind us because the water just as many residents told us is just so deep. The further back you go into this neighborhood we're reporting live in Venetian Isles, Eleanor, Toone, Wwl, Louisiana, Eleanor, thanks. Coastal flood warning ended about an hour ago. And as Eleanor just mentioned, the water really is starting to recede. Give it a little bit though, Impacts Chief meteorologist Chris Franklin has a look at the impacts that we could see for the rest of tonight and the week. Really, Chris. Yeah, and the warning has expired but still coastal flood advisories. Up until tomorrow and some areas may still see some standing water even on into the weekend. These are the remnants of Alberto. So we're not gonna get any additional advisories from the National Hurricane Center. But obviously the remnants still providing a lot of heavy rainfall mainly over Mexico but also continuing into South Texas. The overall broad circulation is still drawing in that deep tropical moisture from the Gulf waters and that overall broad circulation still keeping our fairly brisk even inland offshore winds 18 miles an hour. Though these numbers have been steadily decreasing, they still remain pretty brisk across much of the Gulf region. So these numbers have actually started to come down. Now, with regards to the height above high tide, it will still be an issue tomorrow. And again, we should start to see conti or continue to see, I really should say improving conditions for the rest of the next couple of days. Now that we're done with Alberto, we'll be watching another wave that is in the Caribbean moving toward almost the exact same location as well as now invest 92. I mentioned this one last night. It does both or both of those do have a medium chance of developing but neither pose a threat to us more on that and are building heat in the next couple of days in just a few minutes. All right, Chris, thank you.
