The children were in a van involved in a crash that authorities believe was caused by the storm.Д«efore sweeping into Alabama and other states, Claudette left as much as 12 inches of rain along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, causing flash floods and displacing many residents from their homes. This includes eight children from an Alabama home for neglected and abused youths. The storm pelted Louisiana and Mississippi this weekend before veering eastward into other Southern states.ДЄt least 13 people were killed in the storm.

The Gulf Coast on Monday continued to recover from Tropical Storm Claudette. In 2018, the law was adjusted to allow riverboats to be scrapped in favor of land-based operations.ДЇrom the beginning, the HarrahвЂ™s casino in downtown New Orleans was allowed to be land-based. That was changed in 2001 to permit the riverboats to remain docked. When riverboat casinos were first authorized in the early 1990s, the boats were required to journey into open water away from the port. Louisiana is home to 13 riverboat casinos, one land-based casino in New Orleans, and four racinos. вЂќThat helps capital projects in the city,вЂќ he said. Kenner Mayor Ben Zahn said allowing the Treasure Chest to move ashore will bring more people to the casino and boost tax revenue for the city, reported. The Treasure Chest is on Lake Pontchartrain, northwest of downtown New Orleans. The lease gives the owner, Nevada-based Boyd Gaming, the right to locate the casino on land instead of water, according to. In the New Orleans area, the Kenner City Council this month approved a 25-year lease for the Treasure Chest riverboat casino.
