LAKE CHARLES, La. (KLFY)-- Four years ago Hurricane Laura made landfall and changed southwest Louisiana and parts of Acadiana forever.

Hurricane Laura made landfall around midnight on Aug. 27, 2020, damaging 21 parishes. Lake Charles is still recovering.

Lake Charles Mayor Nic Hunter said it was a team effort for Lake Charles to get back to where it is now.

"Anytime you go through a natural disaster, the likes of which we went through, it really takes a team effort to come back," Hunter said.
