Tropical Storm Claudette was thrashing the central Gulf Coast on Saturday morning, dumping heavy rain and threatening flooding in parts of Mississippi, Alabama and Florida after pushing through Louisiana.
The system's center came ashore in southeastern Louisiana early Saturday, and by 7 a.m. CT was centered about 30 miles north of New Orleans with sustained winds of 45 mph, the National Hurricane Center said.
