Louisiana residents wait hours for basic supplies in Hurricane Laura aftermath

Less than a week has passed since Hurricane Laura tore through Louisiana, leaving an estimated 180,000 people there without water.

Butch Segura and his son Stew Segura salvage what they can from their store after it was destroyed as Hurricane Laura passed through Lake Charles, La., Aug. 28, 2020.“We need everything we can take, anything we can get,” said resident Clifton LeBlanc. An estimated 500 electricity transmission towers are down in the Lake Charles area alone and 17,000 lineman from across 29 states are in Louisiana to help restore power.

She said it was time to pay back the Lake Charles hospital for its help 15 years ago, during Hurricane Katrina, when it took in babies that had been evacuated from New Orleans.

That's nothing in PR after Maria we did not have water of a month, and power for 6 months personally. Other ppl where much worse and still some don't have a roof.
