FlowCore predictions of floodwater depth and property-level damage for Baton Rouge

FlowCore predictions of floodwater depth and property-level damage for Baton Rouge, Louisiana resulting from Hurricane Francine.

On September 11, Hurricane Francine made landfall along the Louisiana coast as a Category 2 hurricane, following a period of rapid intensification due to elevated ocean temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico. Upon landfall, the storm generated winds of up to 100 mph, causing widespread power outages affecting over 450,000 customers.

The storm’s heavy rainfall and high winds led to flash flooding, downed trees, and property damage. Additionally, the storm impacted energy production in the Gulf, with 39% of offshore oil and nearly 50% of natural gas production temporarily halted.

In response, a state of emergency was declared in Louisiana, enabling federal assistance and facilitating coordinated relief efforts.
