Tropical Storm Francine has weakened after making landfall in Louisiana and is now moving inland. The storm brought heavy rain, strong winds, and the threat of flooding to the region before weakening.
The National Hurricane Center has downgraded Francine from a tropical storm to a tropical depression as it moves further inland. Despite the downgrade, authorities are still urging residents to remain vigilant and take precautions as the storm continues to bring heavy rain and strong winds to the area.
Louisiana residents were hit hard by the storm, with power outages reported in several areas and flooding in low-lying areas. Emergency services were on high alert to respond to any calls for help, and residents were advised to stay indoors and avoid driving in the hazardous conditions.
As Francine weakens and moves further inland, the focus is now shifting towards assessing the damage and providing assistance to those affected by the storm. Authorities are working to restore power to areas that have been affected by outages and to clear roads that have been blocked by fallen trees and debris.
Overall, while Francine has weakened after lashing Louisiana, the storm still poses a threat as it continues to bring heavy rain and strong winds to the region. Residents are urged to stay informed about the latest weather updates and to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
