Hurricane Francine Hits Southern Louisiana With 100 mph Winds
Hurricane Francine made landfall in southern Louisiana, specifically in the Parish of Terrebonne, as reported by the National Hurricane Center in a 5 p.m. CDT update on Wednesday. At the time of landfall, the hurricane had maximum sustained winds nearing 100 mph.
Francine intensified rapidly on Wednesday afternoon, with its top-end winds increasing by 35 mph in just the past 24 hours. Although the hurricane is expected to weaken as it progresses over land, it will continue to bring heavy rainfall and gusty winds throughout the evening and overnight hours.
