A marina in Chauvin, Louisiana, experienced rapid flooding as Hurricane Francine made landfall nearby on Wednesday. The dramatic transformation was captured by cameras at CoCo Marina, showcasing the facility's inundation within just a few hours.
Initially, the marina appeared unaffected by flooding around 1:30 p.m. CT on Wednesday. However, by 5 p.m., the scene had drastically changed as dark floodwaters and strong winds encroached upon the area. The water quickly covered a parking lot and reached the stairs of an office building, illustrating the intensity of the storm's impact.
One striking image from video footage taken around 4:30 p.m. revealed a picnic table almost entirely submerged by the rising floodwaters. The speed at which the marina became submerged serves as a stark reminder of the power and unpredictability of natural disasters like hurricanes.
