In photos: Deadly Delta leaves thousands without power in flooded Louisiana

Three deaths have been linked to former Hurricane Delta, as PowerOutage.us reported over 100,000 customers remained without power in Louisiana on Tuesday morning — four days after the storm made landfall in the state.

Details: Louisiana officials said Sunday a man, 86, died while refueling a generator in a shed that caught fire and a woman, 70, died in a fire "likely caused by a natural gas leak following damage." In the Florida Panhandle, Okaloosa County sheriff's office said a 19-year old Illinois tourist drowned Saturday "after being caught in a rip."

The big picture: Delta weakened to a post-tropical cyclone Saturday after making landfall as a Category 2 hurricane.

• The storm's remnants brought heavy rains to the Southeast over the past few days, triggering floods in several regions, with Louisiana bearing the brunt.
• At least one suspected tornado from the storm struck, in Covington, Georgia, on Saturday.

This is as close as I can get right now but here’s a look at a shelter that was damaged in Convington, Georgia. Those nearby say they heard the wind and saw debris flying. I know at least two people have been injured ⁦@FOX5Atlanta⁩ pic.twitter.com/6xnMZWm1XE
