Hurricane Laura
Posted: 27 Aug 2020 02:32 AM
As if 2020 could not get any worse, Hurricane Laura came onshore around 1 AM this morning near
Cameron, LA as a strong category 4 storm. This hurricane will rank as one of the most intense ever
to make landfall over Louisiana. The Lake Charles, LA ASOS has reported a peak wind gust of 132
MPH, which is remarkable for an automated sensor to record. Sometimes these hurricanes can
help bring rainfall to well inland places like Iowa, but this system will stay well to our south and eject
quickly off to the east.
