Tropical Storm Lee: flash-flood alert in the Mississippi Delta

Tropical Storm ‘Lee‘ is hitting the Gulf of Mexico and is especially choreographed by satellite imagery. The cyclone, which was formed a few hours ago, is leading the first heavy rains on Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, as already provided in the past few hours. In the United States is alert to possible flooding in the Mississippi Delta, where they expect up to 15 inches of rain in the next 24 hours.
Will monitor the situation in real time, hoping that this storm – which is expected in the coming days should the U.S. go back to the north / east – will not cause other serious damage to a region already battered by Hurricane Irene and frightened when the hurricane Katia.
