an emergency centre in hurricane-damaged Louisiana, a day after
accepting the Republican nomination for US president.
Mr Romney attended a Friday rally with running mate Paul Ryan
in Florida before cancelling a campaign stop in Virginia and diverting
to the South.Hurricane Isaac caused heavy flooding in areas around New Orleans and damage across the Gulf Coast.
Mr Romney will challenge President Barack Obama in November's election.
The Democratic president is due to tour storm-affected areas of Louisiana Monday, a US national holiday.
At least six deaths in Louisiana and Mississippi have been attributed to Isaac, which brought up to 16in (41cm) of rain in some areas.
