SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) responded effectively to the impacts of Hurricane Francine, which made landfall on September 11 in Louisiana. After weakening, the storm produced minor effects in Mississippi, allowing MDOT crews to clear flooded roads and remove debris. By September 12, all state highways in central and southern Mississippi were open. Although there were reports of flooded roads and downed trees in several counties, crews quickly addressed these issues. MDOT reminds residents that hurricane season continues and offers resources for hurricane preparedness on their website.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Francine, which struck Louisiana as a Category 2 storm, weakened while causing widespread power outages, with over 390,000 affected in Louisiana and 46,000 in Mississippi. The storm brought heavy rain and storm surges, raising flooding concerns in New Orleans and other areas. A heroic rescue in New Orleans was captured live when a nurse saved a trapped driver from a submerged truck. As Francine downgraded to a tropical depression, emergency responders, including the National Guard, prepared to assist affected regions, while remnants of the storm posed a continued threat of flash flooding and spinoff tornadoes.
