Following a brief stint as a Category 1 hurricane, Barry weakened once again to a tropical storm on Saturday after making landfall along the central Louisiana coast.
As Barry moved inland, multiple reports emerged of levees overtopping in Terrebonne and Plaquemines parishes, with mandatory evacuations being ordered by Terrebonne Parish President Gordon Dove for all areas along Louisiana Highway 315.
AccuWeather Extreme Meteorologist Reed Timmer captured footage of water overtopping a levee in St. Mary Parish. Mandatory evacuations were being put into effect for areas south of Highway 317 with sheriff's deputies going door to door to notify residents.

Around 10 a.m. CDT Saturday, Barry became the first hurricane of the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season and the fourth hurricane to ever make landfall on the Louisiana coast in the month of July. The storm's initial landfall occurred when the center of circulation moved across Marsh Island, followed by its final landfall near Intracoastal City, located about 160 miles west of New Orleans.
Since record-keeping began in 1851, only Hurricanes Bob in 1979, Danny in 1997 and Cindy in 2005, have made landfall on the Louisiana coast in July, according to Colorado State University meteorologist Philip Klotzbach.
Despite weakening, Barry will continue to slowly spread a widespread swath of flooding and torrential rain from Louisiana and Mississippi to eastern Arkansas, according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski.
"There can be an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 2 feet," she said.

LA 1 was closed between St. Charles Bypass Road and Lefort Bypass Road in Thibodaux, Louisiana, due to downed electrical poles and wires after Barry blew through. After a brief stint as a Category 1 hurricane, the storm downsized to a tropical storm.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards warned residents during a press conference that Barry would be a significant weather event, telling residents not to take the storm lightly. Edwards said the state and levees in New Orleans were ready for impact and should withstand the floodwaters.
“We have a lot of people going to bed thinking the worst is behind them, when in fact, that’s not going to be the case,”
Gov. Edwards said on Saturday warning of the potential dangers on Sunday.
The United States Coast Guard made several rescues in Terrebonne Park, Louisiana when Barry hit the area on Saturday. A man and his dog were airlifted into a helicopter after floodwaters inundated his house.
"New Orleanians are glad they made preparations even though Barry dodged the area. Its always worth preparation, you never know these storms get crazy sometimes,” New Orleans resident Joe Anderson said.
Jackie Oakwin woke up to the sound of an 100 year-old oak tree crashing on her roof.
“Everything shook i think the neighbors house shook,” Oakwin said.
In Baton Rouge, people were unfazed by the storm's approach and held a Barry party instead of hunkering down or evacuating. As Julie Payor of Baton Rouge, who had a tree fallen tree crush the air conditioning system just outside her home and narrowly missed the house, said, "I've lived in Louisiana long enough to know that you need to have a little laughter and music to make it through a storm."
By 4:00 a.m. CDT Sunday, over 150,000 customers across Louisiana had lost power, according to PowerOutage.US.
Law enforcement responded to likely tornado damage with downed power lines along Fore Road near the Livingston Parish in Louisiana on Saturday morning.
On top of tornadoes, Barry will also unleash heavy rain across the region, AccuWeather forecasters cautioned.
"Our greatest concern is for torrential rain that would result in life-threatening flooding," AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski said.
Just east of where Barry made landfall, a tide gauge at Amerada Pass measured a storm surge of nearly 7 feet on Saturday afternoon, with tide levels reaching 8.23 feet, which exceeded levels measured during Hurricane Ike, 7.81 feet, from Sept. 12, 2008.
Storm surge began to inundate the coast of Louisiana as early as Friday morning as Barry gained strength in the Gulf of Mexico. Timmer reported from just outside of Chauvin, Louisiana, about an hour south of New Orleans.

Louisiana declared a state of emergency in advance of Barry's arrival as residents and crews work to brace the city for impact. Residents were told to shelter in place by 8 p.m. CDT Friday.
Voluntary evacuations were issued across New Orleans for areas that are not protected by the levees.
Every flood gate has been closed along Lake Pontchartrain due to the anticipated flooding. The city of New Orleans did not offer any sandbags ahead of the storm, but businesses and residents steppedup to provide sandbags for people in town. AccuWeather National Reporter Jonathan Petramala captured video of dozens of residents pitching in to fill up sandbags ahead of Barry.
Travelers were faced with canceled flights in New Orleans on Saturday, while Rolling Stones fans missed out on the Rolling Stones concert this weekend after it was postponed to Monday due to Barry. The date of the concert could change again due to the lingering impacts from the storm.
Impacts from Barry were felt along the Florida Panhandle as well. On Friday, a law enforcement officer was treated for facial cuts after a powerful wave churned up by Barry broke the windshield of a boat near Destin, Florida, about 50 miles east of Pensacola, according to the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office Twitter page.

9 p.m. CDT Saturday: The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement has released statistics regarding the offshore oil and gas operators in the Gulf of Mexico.
As of data from 11:30 a.m. CDT on Saturday, 42.3% of all personnel have been evacuated from the managed production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.
The BSEE also estimates about 69.97% of the current oil production and 55.56% of the natural gas production has been shut in. This procedure involves closing sub-surface safety valves below the surface of the ocean floor to prevent the release of oil or gas.
8 p.m. CDT Saturday: With Barry continuing to move farther inland and dumping buckets of rain on already inundated communities, Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant told AccuWeather in an interview that the state will be seeking relief from federal agencies.
Barry has caught the state at a time when residents and farmers of the Mississippi Delta are trying to recover from months of previous flooding. From beach entertainers for to large casino resorts, Bryant said that many businesses across the state are suffering due to the pattern of rain and now the additional rain from Barry.
"Normally, every hotel would be packed, every restaurant would be packed, the beaches would be covered with people enjoying themselves, and now this storm has taken all of that away," Bryant said.
He noted that problems with blooming algae have also forced the state to close most of the beaches this summer.
"This has been a devastating tourist season for the Mississippi Gulf Coast," Bryant said. "Every business there has suffered, and it has been troubling, and [there is] almost nothing we can do just now about it."
Barry and the persistent rain have also dealt a blow to the environment. Bryant notes that all of the fresh water that has been interfused into the Mississippi Sound has been killing creatures from the oyster crop and shrimp to bottlenose dolphins.
"This has been a devastating event that has taken place since the Bonnet Carré Spillway has been opened, allowing fresh water to inundate the Gulf Coast," Bryant said.
Back in late February, the Bonnet Carré Spillway was partially opened to keep the Mississippi River from flooding New Orleans.
7 p.m. CDT Saturday: After the levees in the Myrtle Groves and Pointe Celeste were overtopped, water began to encroach on Highway 23 in Louisiana around 6 p.m., CDT. The highway is the primary route of transportation through Plaquemines Parish.

A flash flood warning will remain in effect for portions of southeast Louisiana and Mississippi, including New Orleans, until Sunday, 7 p.m. CDT.

The hurricane warning for the Louisiana coast has been changed to a tropical storm warning.
2:48 p.m. CDT Saturday: Terrebonne Parish President Gordon Dove issued mandatory evacuation orders for all areas along Louisiana Highway 315 and Brady Road south or south of Falgout Canal due to water overtopping the Lower Dularge East Levee.

Residents are encouraged to come north of the flood wall, if they can do so safely. Otherwise emergency officials encourage you to shelter in place.
