NEW ORLEANS ( WGNO ) — Amid Mardi Gras fun, heavy rain across the New Orleans area led to flooding on Saturday, Feb. 3.
Some Mardi Gras krewes rescheduled their parades due to weather concerns.
A flash flood warning was in effect for the area until 9:30 p.m. and the City of New Orleans allowed residents to park on the neutral ground.
