Hurricane Francine is poised to make landfall in Louisiana, bringing dangerous storm surge and heavy rainfall, prompting mandatory evacuations and a hurricane warning along the coast.
With maximum sustained winds reaching 90 mph, Francine poses a severe threat as it approaches Louisiana, causing local authorities to implement evacuation orders in anticipation of flooding.
Coastal Louisiana could see water levels surge 5 to 10 feet above ground, especially if the storm surge coincides with high tide, resulting in potential catastrophic flooding.
Rainfall totals may hit 4 to 12 inches in coastal Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, with conditions escalating rapidly as the hurricane's outer bands begin impacting the area.
