Hurricane Francine, which struck Louisiana as a Category 2 storm, has caused significant flooding and power outages across the Gulf Coast. Residents in Lafourche Parish are expressing frustration over inadequate flood defenses, particularly in areas like Bayou Boeuf, where homes have been inundated for the second time in three years. As recovery efforts begin, more than 125,000 homes and businesses remain without power, with Governor Jeff Landry emphasizing the resilience of the local communities. Fortunately, there have been no reported deaths or injuries, although the storm caused considerable damage to homes, cemeteries, and infrastructure. The aftermath is compounded by lingering trauma from previous hurricanes, particularly Hurricane Ida. The storm's slow movement is raising concerns of continued flash flooding across the Southeast, affecting states as far as Arkansas and Georgia.
