Welcome back to your time. Now is 509, we're talking about Francine so it made landfall in Louisiana slamming into the Gulf coast as a category two hurricane. Yes. So far this morning, more than a quarter million customers are without power and officials. There are worried about flooding, turbulent view from a shrimp boat as Francine slammed into Louisiana as a category two storm yesterday, packing a deadly storm surge and winds whipping at nearly 100 MPH in hard hit Terrebonne Parish. The powerful storm brought down power lines, snapped trees and tore through this thrift store. At least nobody got hurt. My family's all intact. That's really all I care about. You know, this is the worst happens to me. I'm good. Power outages left more than 350,000 Louisiana residents in the dark as they hunkered down from Francine overnight. Partial 911 outages were also reported in areas impacted by the storm. Though wireless companies say they're resolving the issue daylight, we better get out and see what's going on and what needs to be prepared and get working on it with streets in parts of New Orleans. Now. Flooded. The mayor says the city is prepared. We're just continuing to be. I would say that model for disaster preparedness and really for recovery. Winds and storm surge from a now weakened Francine are expected to also pound parts of Mississippi and Alabama over the next few hours with the potential for deadly tornadoes and flash flooding.
