Hurricane Laura damage in Lake Charles August 31, 2020.
Lake Charles Mayor Nic Hunter says the rebound process from Hurricane Laura is an intense process and it is going to take a long time. He believes the city is doing the best it can to pick up the pieces and put things back together again. Hunter says residents are trickling back into the area.
“They are back here and a lot of them are here without electricity with so much traffic on the street,” says Hunter.
Hunter says every industry in the city was hit hard by the storm, but he says they are all in the process of bouncing back.
“I know that they are already in repair mode and I know and I see it with my own eyes,” says Hunter.
Lake Charles temps are in the 90s today. Hunter says the city is working hard to get people back to the area, without having to use generators or rely on staying at the homes of family and friends.
“We just want to make sure that it is in a way that we can provide the services to them and they can live here comfortably,” says Hunter.
