Good morning. It's Friday, August 19. With an estimated 40,000 homes damaged by deadly flooding, Louisiana could be looking at its biggest housing crunch since the miserable, bumbling aftermath of Hurricane Katrina a decade ago.

A federal judge on Thursday definitively blocked a Florida abortion law to prevent state funds from going to organizations that provide abortions.
