The 15th anniversary of Katrina is two days from now. Many folks who learned a lot about how disaster insurance works (or doesn't) at that time, will tell you why this might be important.
Gov. John Bel Edwards on Thursday morning said early reports show wind did the most damage from Hurricane Laura, with storm surge falling short of projections, but the governor warned the hurricane did “extensive” damage that is ongoing as it continues to move toward Shreveport.
The governor said the National Guard had not yet been able to take helicopters to survey damage and that a “full assessment” was not yet available as of Thursday morning.
It's early but that is potentially good news. This says also that the surge may have been only half as high as the predicted "unsurvivable" worst case scenario.
Of course there are other hazards.
