Yeah, looks like quite a few:

Cameron Parish
A mandatory evacuation order is in effect for all residents living in the parish, according to its Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. The parish has assured residents there will be no roadblocks or road closures during the evacuation process.

Iberia Parish
Officials announced voluntary evacuations for residents in Iberia Parish on Monday, urging residents with special needs and those living in low-lying and vulnerable areas to strongly consider evacuating.

“Those residents that wish to evacuate should begin that process immediately,” said Parish President M. Larry Richard. “Residents who choose to remain may find themselves without power and unable to leave the area until floodwaters recede and storm debris is removed.”

Residents can monitor Iberia PINS (Parish Information Notification System), the Iberia Parish Government website and Facebook for further updates.

Jefferson Parish
Officials ordered a mandatory evacuation for residents outside of the levee protection system, including Grand Isle and Lafitte. Residents can seek shelter at the Terrytown Playground, 641 Heritage Avenue in Terrytown, and will need to bring their own food and water.

Lafourche Parish

Officials in Lafourche Parish issued mandatory evacuations for residents in FEMA or state housing units, and those living south of the Leon Theriot Locks. There’s also a voluntary evacuation order for residents in the Lower Bayou Blue Community, Eagle Island Road, anyone in a mobile home or a low-lying area and anyone feeling vulnerable.

Residents can seek shelter at the Lockport Community Center, 5610 LA-1 in Lockport.

Plaquemines Parish
Some Plaquemines Parish residents are under a mandatory evacuation that went into effect Tuesday morning.

The order affects residents located in Lake Hermitage, Happy Jack, Myrtle Grove, from Tidewater Road to Venice, from White Ditch to Phoenix, Woodpark and Grand Bayou.

A voluntary evacuation order was issued for residents in the Eastbank and Venice north to Alliance.

“If they live in a mobile home or a structure they don’t feel safe in, they’re more than welcome to come to the evacuation center and ride out the storm there,” said Patrick Harvey, Plaquemines Parish Director of Emergency Preparedness and Homeland Security.

Residents can seek shelter at the PPG Multipurpose Center. Those in need of transportation can call 504-934-6940.
 
Is WBB still on here? I'll be interested to see how his neighborhood fares in this - the winds are going to push the lake that way for a long time.

I'm hopeful looking at IR that Francine isn't actually intensifying very much - IR is a mess, but it wrapping itself up right now and trying to clear the eye was not on my expectations list. Hoping there isn't a resulting convection burst.

Well, that didn't age well. :(
 
Looks like a second (inner) eyewall is trying to develop on radar?
Velocities showing a 100+ mph swatch building behind the original eyewall. Could be a meso.
 
Back to 90 mph. Good deal.
