Axios: “Hurricane Laura made landfall near Cameron, southwestern Louisiana, early Thursday as an ‘extremely dangerous’ Category 4 storm. The National Hurricane Center warned to expect ‘catastrophic’ extreme winds, flash-flooding and ‘unsurvivable’ storm surges. The storm was packing winds of 150 mph — 7 mph short of a Category 5 hurricane — when it began pummeling the region near the Texas border — knocking out power to almost 160,000 customers in Louisiana and almost 32,000 others in Texas, per PowerOutage.US.”
