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.
