SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Francine, which made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 2 hurricane, has left over 275,000 homes and businesses without power and raised flood fears, especially in New Orleans. As it weakened and moved north towards Mississippi, it was expected to drop 4 to 12 inches of rain across several states. Louisiana’s Governor activated the National Guard for potential rescue efforts. Although no immediate injuries or fatalities were reported, windy conditions and torrential rain resulted in significant disruptions. President Biden authorized emergency aid to support recovery efforts in impacted areas.
