Fueled by high sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Laura made landfall near Cameron, Louisiana, close to the Texas border, at 1 a.m. CDT (6:00 UTC) as a strong Category 4 storm, bringing catastrophic winds, more than 9 feet of storm surge, and widespread heavy rain across the Gulf region, with wind and rain continuing north into Arkansas. In the following sections we describe the impacts of each sub-peril in more detail.
