Hurricane Laura’s ferocious winds produced more damage than its storm surge as it pummeled portions of Louisiana. The storm left 6 people dead in Louisiana, including at least 4 from falling trees.

Laura came ashore as a Category 4 storm early Thursday near the Texas border, tearing off roofs while knocking out power to hundreds of thousands.

Laura, later downgraded to a tropical storm, was about 35 miles south of Little Rock, Arkansas, with sustained winds of 40 mph as of 7 p.m. CT Thursday. But it made landfall around 1 a.m. with sustained winds of 150 mph, devastating southern Louisiana communities for miles. While there were widespread reports of wind damage, some communities were also beset by storm surge.
