The nature seems to be in some kind of tussle with the mankind. While the world is still grappling with the evils of the pandemic, California and nearby areas are in blazes.
To add to the woes, on August 27, Thursday, U.S. saw one of the most powerful storms in its history. Hurricane Laura struck Louisiana at around 1 am, leaving widespread destruction across the state.
As a category 4 storm, Laura was life-threatening. The ferocious wind, torrential rains and rising seawater as the Hurricane rapidly moved through Cameron and Lake Charles, Louisiana, caused immense damage to homes, buildings and infrastructure.
Images collected by Maxar show the effects of the storm and the damage caused by the Hurricane.
The situation is gravely worrisome.
