Thousands of people in Louisiana are currently facing power outages following the impact of Hurricane Francine, which brought heavy rain and strong winds to the region. While the storm has weakened to a tropical depression, it continues to pose a threat to parts of the southeast.
Residents along the Louisiana coast experienced the brunt of the storm's force, with some areas reporting significant flooding and damage. New Orleans, in particular, received an unusually high amount of rainfall in a short period, overwhelming the city's drainage systems and leading to swift water rescues.
