Luckily, many people evacuated for Hurricane Laura and the storm surge was not as bad as many feared. Both Louisiana and Texas governors say search and rescue teams are still out looking, but it is still the beginning stages of search and rescue, along with assessing the damage.

Hurricane Laura took the lives of nearly two dozen people in the Caribbean before it hit the US.
