Hurricane Francine, a category 2 storm, made landfall in Louisiana warning of life-threatening storm surge and flooding, further exacerbating an area recovering from previous hurricanes.
Larry Doiron, a local gas station owner, emphasized the importance of his supplies, declaring, 'We're the only place out here for the sheriff's department, the fire department. We have gas. All the locals depend on us.'
Weather officials predict heavy rain, storm surge and damaging winds in Louisiana and other southern states, with total rainfall reaching up to 12 inches in some areas.
The National Weather Service warned that Francine would lead to considerable flash flooding, accentuating the challenges faced by communities still reeling from recent storms.
