The damage resulting from Hurricane Laura hit hard for me personally, since my hometown of Lake Charles was ripped apart from the highest winds in 150 years. Damage was everywhere, from the Capital One high-rise building downtown (losing most of its windows), to KPLC's TV steel studio transmission tower bent in half like a cheap coat hanger. Even with all of the devastation, it was a miracle that the loss of life numbers were kept under a dozen.

There was a last-minute saving grace for Lake Charles that WWL Channel 4's meteorologist Dave Nussbaum talks about here, and the latest tracking for two MORE systems in the Atlantic. Great, huh? Well, we are in the peak part of hurricane season right now, and that's just the way things roll. We just want them to roll away from us.

Finally, the 15-year anniversary of the most-deadly storm in New Orleans is August 29. Hurricane Katrina rocked the Crescent City with high winds and rain, but the levee breaches from the storm, surge proved deadly to thousands. Dave looks back. And ahead.
