SUMMARY: In Jefferson Parish, deputies responded to a Morero home around 6:30 AM to assist U.S. Marshals in arresting a suspect wanted for second-degree battery, home invasion, and theft. Surveillance footage shows law enforcement deploying a smoke bomb around 10:30 AM, followed by deputies moving in 20 minutes later. Sheriff Jola Pinto reported that the suspect, armed with two weapons, barricaded himself inside and threatened suicide or ‘suicide by cop’ during hours of negotiations. The situation became increasingly complex and dangerous due to the suspect’s refusal to surrender.

SUMMARY: Residents of Tibido faced power outages despite investing over a million dollars in natural gas generators. Cundiff’s generator struggled, showing fault codes before shutting down. After Hurricane Ida left them without power for nearly two weeks, Cundiff decided to spend over $20,000 on a hurricane-ready model, questioning the investment’s worth. Many shared his frustration, feeling a mix of guilt and anger for relying on what turned out to be a false sense of security. The community is served by two natural gas suppliers, Atmos and South Coast Gas, with South Coast having been a longstanding provider for over 80 years.

SUMMARY: There is increasing activity in a broad area of the Gulf, with a 60% development potential forecasted by the National Hurricane Center. The next potential named storms could be Helen or Isaac. Over the next few days, a high-pressure ridge over Southeast Louisiana is expected to maintain quiet and dry conditions. However, an upper low pressure system off the east coast will evolve, introducing moisture into the Western Caribbean. This will contribute additional energy to the southwestern tip of the trough, potentially enhancing the development of a system. Further monitoring of these factors is necessary.
