Description
English: One of 30 named storms in 2020’s extremely active hurricane season, Hurricane Laura was one for the record books. Seen around peak intensity in this GOES-16 GeoColor satellite image on the evening of August 26, 2020, Laura came ashore near Cameron, Louisiana, early on August 27th with sustained winds of 150 mph and a minimum central pressure of 938 mb. Wind damage to buildings and trees was catastrophic in many parishes, with some locations seeing a storm surge of more than 17 feet. Laura was the strongest hurricane to strike Southwest Louisiana since records began in 1851.
