MDOT responds to impacts from Hurricane Francine
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.
