AccuWeather’s chief meteorologist warns that Hurricane Francine poses a serious risk to New Orleans with potentially damaging wind gusts of 80-100 mph that could cause widespread power outages. Residents are advised to stock up on supplies and be prepared for several days without power. The National Hurricane Center warns that Francine could reach near Category 2 hurricane strength with sustained winds of 90 mph. While some positive news is that the storm is expected to rapidly weaken once it moves inland, the Gulf Coast is bracing for impact as Louisiana’s coastline is under a hurricane warning. Satellite images show Francine advancing towards the state, prompting concerns about its potential impact. Francine is not receiving as much attention as other news headlines, leading to fears that some people may be caught off guard by the storm’s strength and damaging impacts. Residents are urged to take the necessary precautions and stay informed about the latest updates on Hurricane Francine’s path towards Louisiana.
