By Sunday evening, power had been restored to about 188,000 customers, Edwards said. Some of those customers had power restored multiple times to do the ongoing weather event.
Barry made landfall as a very weak Category 1 hurricane on Saturday afternoon near Intercostal City, Louisiana. The last hurricane to make landfall in Louisiana was Nate in 2017.

The levees have held in most prominent cities, but a levee was over-topped in Terrebonne Parish, on the coast southeast of New Orleans, where the Coast Guard rescued 12 people and two dogs by helicopter.
\"Every storm is different and sometimes we want to think we know what to expect from today's storm based on what we've experienced in the past,\" Edwards said. \"And we continually learn that lesson, but every storm is different.\"

The storm is now moving over land, but it is not over. Life-threatening flash flooding and river flooding are still expected from Louisiana up through the lower Mississippi Valley through Monday.
On Monday morning, heavy rain will continue to push into parts of Arkansas as Barry -- or what remains of it -- barely moves northward. However, more tropical rain will push into parts of southern Louisiana from Lake Charles to Baton Rouge with rainfall rates still exceeding 3 inches per hour in spots.

Early predictions for river crests are being lowered, but they will remain a concern heading into the work week.
\"Because of a change in the rain forecast, the crest predictions for many of the rivers have actually gone down,\" Edwards said. \"However I should point out, that even the revised crest heights qualify as major flooding and present serious threats to life and to property. I implore you to remain alert and aware.\"
