Francine is weakening after striking Louisiana as a Category 2 hurricane as it heads far inland from the Gulf Coast. The system knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses, sent storm surge rushing into coastal communities and raised flooding fears in New Orleans and beyond. As heavy rain drenched the northern Gulf Coast, New Orleans awoke Thursday to widespread power outages and debris-covered streets. At its peak more than 450,000 customers were without power. During the storm, the state reported that around 500 people stayed in emergency shelters, that number has since dwindled. There were no reports of deaths or injuries.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has brought attention to an Ohio city by airing false allegations that immigrants are abducting and eating pets. It's part of a timeworn political tradition to cast immigrants as outsiders whose strange behavior is a shock to American culture.

Some Haitian immigrants in Springfield say the lies have made them fearful about rising divisiveness in the predominantly white, blue-collar city.

Kamala Harris has pressed a forceful case against Donald Trump in their first and perhaps only debate before the presidential election. The event Tuesday night showcased their starkly different visions for the country on abortion, immigration and American democracy. The Democratic vice president seemed to get under the skin of the Republican former president, provoking him with reminders about the 2020 election loss that he still denies, mocking his rally crowds and delivering derisive asides at his other false claims. Trump questioned why Harris was proposing ideas she hadn’t accomplished while serving as vice president.
