HOUMA, La. (WGNO) — It's now been one week since Hurricane Francine made landfall in Terrebonne Parish. Power has been mostly restored for Entergy Louisiana customers in Terrebonne Parish, and crews continue to assess the damage for federal reimbursement. A stroll down Houma’s Main Street shows few signs of a hurricane.  National Hurricane Center watching Caribbean for possible tropical development next week “By Thursday, it was almost back to normal, except for the power,” said Dwayne Richard, who owns Royal Flush Restrooms in Houma. “I got power two days later.” Although Francine spared some, others in lower Terrebonne Parish weren't so lucky.  “We have about 677 residential structures that had some level of damage, and about 25 businesses. We're still going through that evaluation,” explained Terrebonne Parish President Jason Bergeron. “And so, as fortunate as we were with not being as bad as we thought it would be, to some people, this was their [Hurricane] Ida.” On Wednesday, Sept. 18, crews in Houma continued to pick up debris left behind in the storm. “I’ve seen a few roofs off, trees down. I mean, I know FEMA is going to come in,” Richard said. “They declared it a disaster. So, FEMA is going to come in and take care of them.” Terrebonne Parish is one of the eight parishes that was approved for federal disaster assistance. Help can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs.

We're asking them to make sure they verify a FEMA ID,” said Bergeron. “Don't sign anything under distress. Make sure you know not to give money to anybody to try to get some repairs done. Take a second to look at everything. Ask questions of your relatives, your neighbors, your friends and if you're not sure, call us.” Meanwhile, the state is still trying to work its way out of an insurance crisis. “What I'm hoping comes out of this is when you look at what the levees did to save us with water, when we look at what the fortified roofs did, those that had it, everything that had been set up to be more resilient than it was before, less poles down, you know, new roofs had less roof damage,” said Bergeron. “I hope all that shows the investment put into place saved money, and that we get to realize that.” The parish president also says within the next five to six days, they will be setting up an information center inside the Main Library where storm victims can learn more about disaster aid resources.
