Francine moves inland after causing flooding, blackouts
SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Francine, which made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 2 hurricane, has left over 275,000 homes and businesses without power and raised flood fears, especially in New Orleans. As it weakened and moved north towards Mississippi, it was expected to drop 4 to 12 inches of rain across several states. Louisiana’s Governor activated the National Guard for potential rescue efforts. Although no immediate injuries or fatalities were reported, windy conditions and torrential rain resulted in significant disruptions. President Biden authorized emergency aid to support recovery efforts in impacted areas.

SUMMARY: Catastrophic flooding in Texas over the July Fourth weekend killed at least 104 people, including 28 children, mostly near Camp Mystic, a century-old girls’ summer camp in Kerr County. Search-and-rescue teams continue to search swollen rivers for dozens still missing; officials expect the death toll to rise as more rain threatens the saturated area. Many victims were swept from cabins by flash floods early Friday, some clinging to trees. Authorities will investigate warnings and evacuation delays, noting poor cellphone service hindered alerts. Despite warnings issued before the flood, some residents didn’t receive them. President Trump plans to visit the state.
