On August 27, 2020, Hurricane Laura pounded the Louisiana and Texas coasts, making landfall near Cameron, Louisiana as a Category 4 storm with 150 mph winds. Hurricane Laura tied with the Last Island Hurricane (1856) for the strongest landfalling hurricane in Louisiana on record. While Lake Charles and the surrounding areas were the epicenter of the impact, damage from the storm spans a large area of Louisiana and Southeast Texas. In parts of Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas, power outages continue and there doesn't seem to be a building left untouched by Hurricane Laura's fierce winds.
