Summary[edit]
DescriptionEffects of Hurricane Laura on the Louisiana coast - image n 2.jpg |
English: Laura was the first major hurricane of the 2020 Atlantic season to make landfall on the US coast. Until 24 August, it was classified as Category 1, but between 25 and 26 August the wind speeds increased from 120 to 225 km/hour in a short timespan, as Laura intensified to become a Category 4 hurricane. It eventually became southwest Louisiana's first Category 4 landfalling hurricane on record, according to NOAA's historical database. At 03:00 UTC of 27 August, Laura hit the Louisiana coastline causing storm surges reaching 5 meters, severe damages and at least 16 deaths. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 31 August 2020, shows a detail of the area around Cameron Parish in Louisiana where Hurricane Laura made landfall. High-resolution open data from Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites allow accurate delineation of flood extent and damage assessment. |
