TUCSON, THANKS A LOT. >>> FRANCINE, WHICH WAS A CATEGORY 2 HURRICANE WEDNESDAY, HAS WEAKENED SIGNIFICANTLY AS IT MOVES NORTH OVER THE LAND. IT MADE LANDFALL IN LOUISIANA WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE GOTTEN THE WORST OF IT. AS OF THURSDAY EVENING, MORE THAN 251,000 WERE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY IN LOUISIANA, 10,000 IN MISSISSIPPI, 32,000 IN ALABAMA AND 10,000 IN TENNESSEE. CBS NEWS NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT DAVE MALKOFF JOINS US NOW FROM HOUMA, LOUISIANA. DAVE, YOU JUST GOT BACK FROM THE AREA WHERE THE STORM MADE THE LANDFALL. IS THAT RIGHT? >> Reporter: YEAH. JUST EAST OF THERE. WE WERE IN DULAC. AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THERE, JOHN, THERE WAS STREETLIGHT AFTER STREETLIGHT AFTER STREETLIGHT WHERE YOU HAD TO TREAT IT AS A STOP SIGN BECAUSE ALL THE POWER IS OUT AND THE ONLY PLACE THAT'S SEEN POWER IS ONE GAS STATION OVER HERE. IT MADE LANDFALL DOWN THERE AS A CATEGORY 2 HURRICANE. NOW IT'S BECOME A TROPICAL STORM AGAIN, BUT IT DID INTENSIFY PRETTY QUICKLY IN THE GULF OF MEXICO BECAUSE IT'S SO WARM DOWN THERE. >> WHAT'S HAPPENING BEHIND YOU? IS THAT AS A RESULT OF THE STORM? >> Reporter: YEAH. THIS PILE THAT YOU SEE BEHIND ME IS EASIER TO SEE ACTUALLY IF WE GO TO THE SKY AND WE GO TO THE DRONE. LOOK AT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS BUILDING, JOHN. THIS IS THE JUNK IN THE TRUNK THRIFT STORE HERE IN HOUMA. IT'S OWNED BY DAN, THE JUNKMAN, STEVENS, AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO IT. THE ROOF WAS RIPPED APART AND THOSE STEEL BEAMS IN THERE WERE TORN APART INTO THESE RAZOR SHARP STEEL BEAMS THAT ARE SITTING THERE RIGHT AT HEAD LEVEL. RIGHT NOW YOU CAN KIND OF SEE ON THE DRONE THAT THEY ARE BUILDING A TEMPORARY WALL TO MAKE SURE THE PEOPLE WEREN'T GOING IN THERE OVERNIGHT WHEN THEY CAN'T SEE THOSE STEEL BEAMS AND LOOKING FOR THINGS TO TAKE FROM THERE, BUT THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STORE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S THE MOST AFFORDABLE PLACE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE TO SHOP. IT MEANS A LOT TO THE STEVENS THEMSELVES. THIS IS KIND OF A PASSION PROJECT FOR THEM. THEY'RE JUST SO SAD NOT TO SEE THE STORE GO, BUT TO SEE THE COMMUNITY GO THAT WAS HERE, THE RELATIONSHIP THAT THEY HAVE WITH THE CUSTOMERS THAT ARE IN HERE ALL THE TIME. THE STORE WON'T SURVIVE. THEY'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO TEAR IT DOWN, BUT THEY'RE JUST LOOKING TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO, MOVE IT BACK INTO STORAGE? THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF IN THERE. YOU'LL SEE MORE OF WHAT'S INSIDE THAT STORE ON THE CBS
