At least 15 people were killed and 30 injured when a driver rammed a pickup truck into a crowd during New Year’s celebrations on Bourbon Street in New Orleans early on Wednesday morning. The FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism.  

The FBI has identified the suspect as a 42-year-old Texas man and Army veteran. Law enforcement sources say the suspect, who was killed in a firefight with officers, had an ISIS flag at the time of the attack. The FBI said it is investigating potential associations with terrorist organizations.

• The FBI said it doesn't think the driver was “solely responsible.” Weapons, as well as “potential improvised explosive devices,” otherwise known as IEDs, were found in the vehicle, the FBI said. Officials also located IEDs in the French Quarter.

• The attack in the popular French Quarter happened less than a mile from where The Sugar Bowl was to be hosted Wednesday. The annual college football game was postponed for 24 hours for public safety reasons, the bowl’s CEO said.

 Hurricane Francine barreled toward Louisiana on Wednesday as residents made last-minute trips to stock up on supplies and forecasters warned of potentially deadly storm surge, widespread flooding and destructive winds on the northern U.S. Gulf Coast.

In Morgan City, gas stations had put plywood on the windows and moved trash cans inside, with a few pumps still serving the trickle of cars passing through shortly after dawn.

 Rain from Hurricane Francine has been pounding the New Orleans metro, causing widespread street flooding in many neighborhoods and the city and in Jefferson Parish. 

 Francine's eyewall fell apart but expanded after landfall and pushed up against New Orleans and Baton Rouge, unleashing strong winds and heavy rains across southeast Louisiana Wednesday night. As the storm slowed down, more rain fell on neighborhoods across the SouthShore.

 Between 6 and 7 inches of rain fell across New Orleans, with some areas seeing more than 8 inches, according to rain gauges that are connected to a network maintained by the meteorological website Weather Underground. Some of those stations recorded rain falling at a rate of more than 1½ inches per hour, which exceeds the capacity of the New Orleans Sewerage& Water Board's drainage system. 

  Nearly 400,000 Louisiana customers were without power as of 6am Thursday, according to according to utility tracker poweroutage.us.  

 More than 100,000 people in metro New Orleans was without power as of 6am, Entergy says.
