A powerful storm, formerly Hurricane Francine, has unleashed havoc across the Southeastern United States, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. After making landfall in Louisiana as a Category 2 hurricane, Francine has now weakened to a tropical storm but continues to pose significant threats with heavy rain and strong winds.
The impact of the storm has extended to Mississippi, parts of Florida, the Florida panhandle, and Alabama, where residents are grappling with flooding, downed trees, and widespread power outages. Currently, more than 420,000 homes and businesses are without power, with Louisiana bearing the brunt of the outages.
