Event narrative (NOAA)

The greater impact was from Francine���s flooding rain, though. As the north and northeastern eyewall stretched into an east-west oriented band of heavy rainfall, training storms resulted in widespread rainfall totals of 7-9��� across the parish with locally higher amounts, much of which fell over the course of just a couple hours. The heavy rain resulted in significant flash flooding across the parish, with numerous areas becoming inaccessible, and approximately over 350 homes and businesses being flooded throughout the parish, with the worst flooding reported in Norco.
