storm surge

Louisiana coastal residents can now get a significant lift from the federal government to help combat storm surge during hurricanes.

The website HurricaneTrack.com had live cameras set up all over the coastal area, and this one was trained on Don's place in Cypremort Point.

The storm surge high water mark was left on what remained of structures on Rutherford Beach in Cameron Parish.

A track change of fewer than 20 miles made all the difference between Hurricane Laura being remembered as a wind event versus a water event.
