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 bayous and 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 or anything. You know, I don't know if he's going to get sucked away if he knows how to swim or anything. So I just want to make sure that he was safe and brought him, brought him to. Now a day later with most of the floodwaters receding power is the biggest problem for tens of thousands in the strike zone crews working nonstop though, in some of the hardest hit areas. It could take days to restore snapped lines. Jay Gray NBC News, New Orleans.
