Francine delays as Louisiana experiences record-breaking rainfall

Hurricane Francine, a Category 2 storm, has made landfall in Louisiana, causing high rainfall totals and posing a high risk of tornadoes overnight. The storm has slowed its progress, leading to significant impacts in the region. Louisiana officials are calling it the worst storm they have had in a while, and emergency supplies are being prepared as the storm continues to approach the Gulf Coast. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, at least 59 people have been killed as Typhoon Yagi continues on its deadly path. In Southern California, a wildfire emergency has grown, forcing thousands to evacuate their homes. Additionally, flash flooding in Texas has led to swift water rescues, and a community is on edge as the threat of landslides grows. On a more positive note, Labor Day travel in 2024 set records, although there were challenges such as a hotel workers strike. In Grand Canyon National Park, more deaths have occurred due to water problems. Overall, the impact of severe weather events like Hurricane Francine and Typhoon Yagi highlights the importance of preparedness and emergency response in the face of natural disasters.
