Aftermath of Laura and Delta Ravages Southwest Louisiana
In hurricane wreckage Louisiana residents dig out after Laura and Delta. Lake Charles and Creole faced near uninterrupted downpours and widespread flooding. Officials note 3,000 National Guard troops aiding recovery as power restored slowly. Tenants rebuild amid exhausted, anxious communities. Delta spared deaths by Sunday but left homes damaged and debris everywhere. Communities pull together as residents fear national attention waning.
