Louisiana is bracing for Hurricane Francine as the storm grows in power over the Gulf of Mexico before its expected landfall on Wednesday.
Francine strengthened from a tropical storm into a Category 1 hurricane on Tuesday and is expected to have reached Category 2 when it hits Louisiana.
Louisiana and neighbouring Mississippi have declared states of emergency in preparation for landfall.
Though the hurricane has not yet made landfall, rain has already arrived and power outages reported.
