One year ago today Laura hit SW LA. Lake Charles had 2 hours of 150 mph wind, the destruction was epic, no power for 3 weeks and a month later Delta. Much of LC is still ruins, Google “Capital One building pics”, I’m told it is not salvageable and will be imploded. Since Calcasieu Parish didn’t vote for our Democrat governor or Bidet, outside help has been almost non-existent.
NOAAs forecasting is lagging with this one just like it did with Laura and Michael. I think this one will make Cat 5. Laura was nasty. It peeled bricks off houses. I don't know why it didn't get much press.
NOAA is still chasing its tail on this one.
