Good morning and thanks for joining us. Here are some of today's top headlines. The aftermath: Hurricane Francine's floodwaters receded Thursday, and thousands were left without power and many others, particularly in the River Parishes, had a wet mess to clean up. We have dispatches from New Orleans, Jefferson Parish, St. Tammany Parish and the Houma-Thibodaux area. There's an analysis of the storm's path and a look at the problems experienced by the city's Sewerage & Water Board. You'll find all of our coverage of the recovery — including updates on power outages — along with other news, entertainment and sports here. Chad |
