Sept 10 (Reuters) - FedEx ( FDX ) said on Tuesday its

customers in some markets of Louisiana could see a disruption in

their pickup and delivery services on Wednesday due to Storm

Francine.

New Orleans and Lafayette would be the markets affected, the

parcel delivery giant said, adding it would update the list of

affected markets as the storm progresses.

Francine was intensifying and was on track to become a

hurricane, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said, prompting

Louisiana residents to flee inland and oil and gas companies to

shut-in Gulf of Mexico production.
