Extreme flooding is likely in the area along with a major storm surge. There will be significant flooding over much of the rest of Mississippi and, perhaps, western Alabama.

NS Service Alert from Saturday 9/12/20: http://www.nscorp.com/content/nscorp/en/shipping-tools/shipping-news-and-alerts/tropical-storm-sally.html

Excerpt:

"...The Flood Protection Authority advised Norfolk Southern the floodgates that impede the flow of NS rail traffic into and out of New Orleans will close at noon on Monday, September 14th.  In preparation for the storm, the New Orleans Intermodal facility will also close on Monday, September 14th...'

Those of you who do not believe the mainstream media need take no notice of these reports. Just consign them with the rest in your "fake news" delusions.
