NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Some New Orleans officials say they're not satisfied with the city's response to weekend flooding after Saturday’s heavy rainfall overwhelmed the city's pump stations. According to Local news media, the city council will meet Tuesday to seek answers about the pumping system. Some neighborhoods saw between 8 and 10 inches of rain over a few hours Saturday. At a news conference Sunday, Deputy Mayor Ryan Berni told TV Station WWL the cities pump stations were all operating but their pumping capacity could only move so much water per hour. The city has no immediate plans to request an emergency declaration from the state, but that could change as the city collects more information on flood damage. More heavy rain is predicted for Monday afternoon.
