Laura slams Louisiana as Trump faces a record disaster year

Hurricane Laura made landfall at Cameron Parish, Louisiana, as a Category 4 hurricane on August 27, 2020. NOAA reported Laura caused about $19 billion in damage and 42 deaths in 2020 dollars, making it the costliest U.S. natural disaster that year before later CPI updates. The Trump administration approved federal disaster support as the country faced a record 22 billion-dollar weather and climate disasters in one year.
