Hurricane Francine is set to become a Category 2 storm before making landfall in Louisiana, the United States National Weather Service has warned, with “life-threatening” storm surge, inland flooding from heavy rainfall and dangerous wind gusts expected.
The warning on Wednesday came as parishes across the southern US state issued evacuation orders. Over a quarter of oil and gas production was also shut down in the Gulf of Mexico, with the Coast Guard shuttering operations at Port Fourchon, a key energy hub, as the storm approached.
