NEW ORLEANS — Francine made landfall in Louisiana late Wednesday afternoon as a Category 2 hurricane.
Landfall happened around 5 p.m. in Terrebonne Parish with winds of up to 100 mph and gusts a little higher.
In the city of New Orleans, the gusts were expected between 50-60 miles per hour, which would likely lead to downed trees, debris and power outages. City leaders said the surge could affect roads in New Orleans East outside of levee system. City officials have asked people to "shelter in place" and stay off of the streets.
