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.
Residents in the affected areas have been advised to stay indoors and to follow all evacuation orders. The American Red Cross has set up shelters for those displaced by the storm, and food and water are being provided to those in need.
Francine is expected to move slowly inland over the next few days, bringing with it heavy rain and strong winds. The storm is expected to weaken over time, but not before causing significant damage and disruption to the region.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been activated to provide support to the affected areas, with teams on the ground to assist with relief efforts.
In the meantime, residents are advised to stay safe and to follow all instructions from local authorities. The full extent of the damage caused by Francine is still unknown, but one thing is certain - this storm is one that will not soon be forgotten.
