BELLE ROSE — Thursday morning, crews in Assumption Parish were working to clear trees off the road in the aftermath of Hurricane Francine. 

According to Assumption Police Juror President Leroy Blanchard, rain totals in the area exceeded 12 inches on the eastern side of the parish, causing flooding. Wind damage was also reported across the parish.

Most downed powerlines and trees have been cleared from roadways and crews are working to clear lines that got tangled in downed trees, Blanchard said.

Blanchard also said that shelters will remain open in the parish through Friday. 

No injuries were reported across the parish. 

Still, one community in Belle Rose, who are all kin to one another, says that the strong winds from Francine destroyed their homes. One mobile home's roof was ripped off, leaving part of it hanging from a tree.

"Shoot! Boy, I was scared, boy! We was in that house, boy! Once that tree fell, boy, that whole thing felt like an earthquake. That thing said, 'Boom!'" Bralen Belvin said. "I was like 'Oh! The whole house shook.' Everybody was scared. They had children crying. It was bad! It was horrible!"

Belvin says his family is trying to recover but as long as they have one another, everything is alright.
