JEFFERSON, La. – House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) and the entire Louisiana delegation have urged President Biden to approve Governor Jeff Landry’s request for an expedited major disaster declaration following Hurricane Francine's landfall in Terrebonne Parish, La. on Wednesday.
“We write in support of Governor Jeff Landry’s request for an expedited major disaster declaration in response to Hurricane Francine, which made landfall in Louisiana on September 11, 2024. As you know, Hurricane Francine formed as a Tropical Storm in the Gulf of Mexico on September 9, 2024, before intensifying and making landfall as a Category 2 hurricane. The storm brought heavy rainfall, a life-threatening storm surge, and sustained winds of 100 mph,” the letter reads.
