Hurricane Francine Leaves Kenner Families Displaced

One week after Hurricane Francine hit Kenner, residents are in dire need of recovery support. The Moore family, who experienced significant flooding in their home, are now fundraising for repairs and emphasizing the importance of content insurance, realizing too late that their flood insurance did not cover personal belongings. In response to the disaster, a large distribution drive-thru was organized by local churches and relief organizations, drawing hundreds of vehicles for assistance. Many families are still dealing with the aftermath, facing challenges such as sewage backups and damaged property, with some residents recalling previous storm experiences. Local officials are working on increasing pumping capacity to prevent future flooding, but these projects are projected to take three years. Despite the hardships, community support and faith remain strong among the residents as they recover from this latest disaster.
