Francine Floods New Orleans Areas Scarred by Past Storms

Elizabeth Stevens anxiously watched floodwater creep closer to her doorstep in suburban New Orleans early Thursday, as Tropical Storm Francine made its way through Louisiana, dumping up to nine inches of rain in some parts.

Residents hunkered down in their homes across the southern part of the state, which suffered destruction during Katrina in 2005 and Ida in 2021. Many residents still speak of their trauma from that devastation. Homes and infrastructure such as roads and power lines remain vulnerable to storms in many areas.
