Road closures in Louisiana after Francine

Francine has caused roads to close, either due to rising water, closing floodgates or storm damage.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry advised people to stay off the roadways.

Francine made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane Wednesday afternoon in Terrebonne Parish, about 30 miles southwest of Morgan City. It rolled through New Orleans Thursday evening, dumping over 8 inches of rain in parts of the city, which led to widespread flooding.

Parts of Lafourche, St. John, St. Charles and Jefferson parishes saw 8 to 10 inches of rain.

Storm surge of 5 to 10 feet was predicted on the impacted portions of the Louisiana coastline between the Cameron-Vermilion parish line and Port Fourchon. A surge of 4-6 feet was possible for the western shore Lake Maurepas and and the northern edge Lake Pontchartrain.
