Francine Weakens And Moves Inland After Lashing Louisiana
6 days ago
Francine weakened Thursday after striking Louisiana as a Category 2 hurricane that knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of utility customers, sent storm surge rushing into coastal communities and raised flooding fears in New Orleans and beyond.
As the system moved inland, crews began clearing roads and restoring electricity while neighborhoods and businesses started cleaning up the mess. There were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries, Gov. Jeff Landry said.
