(Reuters) – More than 250,000 homes and businesses in Louisiana were without power on Thursday after Hurricane Francine slammed into the Gulf Coast, according to data from PowerOutage.us.

Earlier in the day, Francine weakened to a subtropical cyclone, but not before making landfall in southeastern Louisiana, southern Mississippi, and Alabama, bringing hefty rains and gusty winds.
