Francine, a powerful Category 2 hurricane, made landfall in south Louisiana, bringing with it powerful winds and a dangerous storm surge that has left thousands of residents on high alert. The hurricane, which has been gaining strength over the past few days, has caused widespread panic and destruction in the region.

According to reports, the storm made landfall in the early hours of the morning, with winds of up to 105 miles per hour and a storm surge of up to 6 feet. The storm has caused widespread power outages, with thousands of homes left without electricity.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has warned of the potential for catastrophic damage and flooding in the region, with the storm surge expected to inundate coastal areas and cause widespread flooding. The NHC has also warned of strong winds, which could cause significant damage to buildings and infrastructure.

The Governor of Louisiana has declared a state of emergency, with evacuation orders in place for several parishes. The Louisiana National Guard has been deployed to assist with evacuation efforts and to provide support to those affected by the storm.
