Hurricane Francine, which made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 2 storm, is causing significant rainfall and flooding across Louisiana and Mississippi, with some areas expecting up to nine inches of rain. In response to the emergency conditions, President Biden has authorized FEMA to provide federal disaster aid to numerous parishes, including Iberville, to assist with recovery efforts. The storm is currently affecting regions like Baton Rouge, where power outages have been reported and preparations are being made for continued impacts. As Francine continues to weaken and move northward, tropical storm warnings remain in effect for coastal areas. Local officials, including Mayor of Gulfport, are taking measures to protect residents as the storm approaches Mississippi. The situation is being monitored, with expectations of improving conditions later in the day.
