Hurricane Laura made landfall near the Texas-Louisiana border early Thursday as a category 4 major hurricane, with a maximum sustained wind speed of 150 mph. In its wake, over 800,000 were left without power, as well as widespread structural damage.
Almost exactly three years ago, Hurricane Harvey devastated Houston, Texas, which could be in for another shock this year. And 15 years ago this week, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans.
