I was honestly scared. My heart started racing. Uh As soon as I heard it, I kind of knew like my heart kind of knew that something was happening and going wrong people in Louisiana. And during hurricane Francine overnight, strong winds from hurricane Francine brought down trees across parts of southeastern Louisiana on Wednesday night. This is what it looked like at a home in Denham Springs about 15 miles east of Baton Rouge. A tree took out the garage and fell partly into the home, bringing down electrical lines with it. No one was hurt. Many in the Gulf coast states now begin clean up though Francine made landfall as a category two hurricane in southern Louisiana winds there up to 100 miles an hour, ripping off roofs, knocking out power to tens of thousands after landfall. Though that storm was downgraded to a tropical storm. It is now a tropical depression. NB C's Jay Gray has the latest from New Orleans. Hey there. Good evening and look the French quarter of New Orleans moving slowly. But the key here is it's still moving. Working through the aftermath of France scene, beginning the clean up and recovery many with no power, which means no air conditioning in the oppressive heat and humidity. Here. The mess is scattered for miles here, Louisiana beginning to clean up after a beating from Francine. The category two hurricane with sustained winds of 100 miles an hour pushing through the bayou marshland along the coast. The center of the storm targeting New Orleans dumping just under a foot of water on the city. The rain falling fast, flood pumps can't keep up neighborhoods swallowed. You can see right now that guy breaking that window during a live broadcast, local NBC affiliate WDSU focuses on a pickup truck stuck in the rising waters. It seems like one person it's in that vehicle. Miles Crawford, an, er, nurse watching rushes from his nearby home to save the driver. I just didn't want him to go under anything and it's, you know, I don't know if he's gonna get sucked away if he knows how to swim or anything. So I just wanna make sure that he was safe and brought him, brought him to and power is also a problem as the system continues to push end with significant outages in Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, Jay Gray NBC News, New Orleans.
