Tropical Storm Francine makes landfall

Developing overnight. What was hurricane Francine has since weakened to that tropical storm only hours after making landfall in Louisiana, flash flood warnings are still in effect in parts of the state and now almost 400,000 residents remain without power this morning. The storm is also slamming parts of Mississippi with 70 mile per hour winds. CBS news reporter, Jason Allen has more 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 when it's daylight, we're about to get out and see 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. Jason Allen CBS, News, New Orleans.
