Tropical Storm Cristobal has crashed ashore in Louisiana, and the lopsided storm is also bringing high wind and drenching rains to nearby areas of Mississippi and Alabama.
The storm also spun off a tornado in north Florida before its landfall Sunday not far from the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Sections of U.S. Highway 90 in Mississippi had to be closed due to flooding.
In Alabama, the bridge linking the mainland to Dauphin Island was closed to regular traffic Sunday evening. Dangerous storm surge warnings remained in southeast Louisiana and coastal Mississippi as the storm moved inland.
