Neighbors along Tulane Drive in Kenner are vacuuming cars and gutting furniture from homes after a canal just behind the neighborhood overflowed with rain water from Hurricane Francine. Neighbors tell me it has never been this bad, even through Hurricane Ida. FOX 8 New Orleans

I’m really happy FOX 8 New Orleans was able to push real-time news about Hurricane Francine in Spanish on TV and social media. South Louisiana is home to a growing population of Spanish-speakers and I’m proud I can keep people informed in my hometown in two different languages.

Prayers out to everyone who had damage during Hurricane Francine❤️ This is how it looked in University City. This family had no power and water was rising fast. We have two more months of hurricane season. Let’s hope it’s quiet until then! FOX 8 New Orleans
