Meteorologist Zack Fradella is reporting that he sees an intensification trend with Hurricane Francine.

 

Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel will be hunkered down in Morgan City, Louisiana for the storm.  A local bakery made Cantore inspired cupcakes and he actually stopped by their place to get some.

The cupcakes are shrimp boil flavored with vanilla icing.  I would've loved to see his face when he took a bite of his first cupcake, lol.

Where is Hurricane Francine going to land in Louisiana?

Currently, Hurricane Francine is traveling at 16 mph NE and has maximum sustained winds of 90 mph.
