Helicopter video from Little Chenier, Rutherford Beach and Creole, La. All three areas were devastated by Hurricane Laura. Helicopter shots include homes floating in the marsh, homes reduced to slabs and shots of beaches that have been wiped out.
The storm made an unexpected jog of 10 miles which spared Lake Charles. Please realize if you don't already, nobody said it was going to be 20 feet all 30 to 40 miles. The places you are not hearing that much of have been destroyed. You can not get to these places other than by helicopter or boat as they are still flooded. Lake Charles is comparable to New Orleans in Katrina in that everybody concentrated their attention there, but Waveland and other places in Mississippi were not reported on for days as nobody could get to the obliterated communites.
I’ve personally been thinking about this area the whole time, lots of memories shared here very recently... this is so sad
Wonder how high the surge was here looks higher than 10 feet and probably much higher this area just east of landfall
I’m glad Lake Charles didn’t get that storm surge because otherwise my house would’ve been underwater
my god, my heart breaks for the people who lost everything.
i'm not normally a "look on the bright side" kinda person but, if they made it out alive they didn't lose everything. homes can be rebuilt, possessions can be replaced. lives can't.
Been searching for footage of Rutherford Beach all day. I knew this place took the full brunt of the right eye wall. Hope everyone evacuated
Thank You Live Storms Media for the Before and After footage on your channel.

This is where that god aweful unsurvivable 20 foot storm surge hit, people keep saying they overestimated the storm surge. They didn’t. Due to a change in wind direction at the last minute it spared places like lake Charles but devastated this region with that surge,
Yes they did, it was 9 feet surge not 20. Nevertheless these people are obviously screwed, but they live right on the coast. With 20 feet storm surge Lake Charles and the Highway would have been completely flooded as well.
Sorry but you are mistaken and they did exaggerate risks. They said up to 15 feet storm surge up to 40 miles inland in an area that covered more than 200 miles of coastline. I live near there and we were following advisory updates closely. They suddenly changed from saying 30 miles inland to 40 miles inland when it was way too late to do anything about it. The local news was not very helpful either. It was difficult for people to determine what the impact was going to be in their area because there was so much exaggeration to sift through.
Try evacuating several million people with less than a full days notice and you'll see why many residents ride the storm out.
@@thelz7909 Like I said, they didn't exaggerate storm surge they just missed the area it would hit. Lake Charles and the region surrounding it 100% lucked out with the surge but it got worse wind damage than expected, so did holly beach, but the 10-20 foot surge hit much less or completely unpopulated areas and even the National Hurricane center says it thinks there was 10-20 feet as the 9 foot was recorded in an area where the storm surge wasn't nearly the highest. So like i said, they did not exaggerate the risks of this storm, it has done devastating damage across the entire area, its just that the predicted storm surge hit an different and much less populated area of the coast like areas around here.
@@thelz7909 you have to realize that the instruments recording the flood stage at some point reach the point where they get destroyed. One of the meters east of cameron read around 15 feet
@@thelz7909 they did not say 15 foot 40 miles inland they said 15-20 foot in isolated locations but 3-9 feet in locations inlad which happened
Oh wow. I'm just watching from Scotland.
This is terrible! My prayers are with you 😢😢.
Looks like Mexico Beach, Florida after Hurricane Michael
Not quite that bad and remember this is swamp.
Any chance there is footage of the Grand Chenier to Rockefeller Refuge areas? Thank you@LIVESTORMSMEDIA
0:13 is that house off it's foundation and floated, or did all that stuff wash up around it and the water is still high ?
Floated or got thrown. Surge still present.
Sad with all thats going on and now this geez God help us
1:26 That person knew rose the land and then built his house. That's something right there.
The water was higher. This is after the storm.
Wow, what footage! The more populous region around Lake Charles was spared the brunt of the storm surge, but areas generally south-southeast were inundated with all of that ocean water. Keep these communities in your prayers!
This is what was supposed to hit Lake Charles but it veered at the last second. I wonder how high the storm surge reached here since it was the front right quardron.
17.5 ft in Grand Chenier..
What do you mean supose to hit Lake Charles? It looked like an fucking bomb went off in lake Charles down hw 14. Grand lake got whipped off the map and Cameron is gone. My mother's house and grandmothers house was spared and they live in creole
Yeah us lake charles peeps got severe damage don’t say we didn’t get any damage or hit
Omg - how do you recover from this? My heart breaks for them 😢
Not live there in the first place ❓
You start over. Floods, tornadoes, fires and hurricanes have forced many families to start over throughout our nation's history. It's not at all easy, but it is possible.
I used to live in Grand Chenier on the river , do you have footage from the Mermentau River bridge heading east to Pecan Island ??
No words.....
Praying for everyone ❤
House boats for sale
Where is this?
Rutherford is whipped out
Dios mío bendito cuídalos y nos unimos a lo que están pasando pero ánimo nosotros pasamos por lo mismo levántese y no caigan dios es grande y los va a ayudar lo importante es estar vivos y vamos a horar por ustedes desde puerto rico.
Not bad everyone has waterfront property now, just little TLC and salle with profit.
It's bad, but not nearly as bad as predicted / expected
That's what I've been saying all day. There was nothing left after Rita. People got smarter.
I mean actually it kinda is, very few homes survived this, and the worst surge/that 15-20 feet hit areas along here instead of devastating lake charles
Trust me lake Charles did get devastated not surge wise but wind wise with the tornados and hurricane force winds. We got beat up
These need to get out nationally.
Non si capisce più quale è il confine fra mare e terra... che disastro immane
Oh muh gawd hows could this has even happened?!
It's certainly well known and common for that area, I cannot understand why people would want to live there ❓
Sad, very sad.
This seems to be where Laura made land fall. There is no beach unlike Cameron
Devastation
oh my LOrd
Wow, that would be storm surge, incredible power on display, first video I have seen of surge related damage. Sad for all those folks
This is mostly wind damage. Storm surge wasn't nearly as bad as they said it would be.
@@DadBodDrumming and why this area is entirely flooded after hours from landfall? i think there aren't videos or deaths reported from surge because the impacted coastline areas aren't very populated
Fran - that is storm surge that will slowly drain away.
@@philgiglio7922 yeah sure, i was saying that
We gonna be ok👍🏼👍🏼
Until it happens again. How many more times do you think the government will help?
@@marcogram1216 I’ve never or have I met anyone that has received any help from the government or a disaster relief program! we’ve always understood the risk and have always prepared for the worst just like a lot of others here! The news only shows the hardest hit.
The ocean took back what belongs to it
Hey mama, is that your dream home floating down the river?
Yah seen that alligator movie crawl?
Lot of debris in the water and around buildings.
2020 and now another reason why people no why Americans need help from the government and I mean all Americans
Alien among us already As Ronald once said if there was a alien Among Us we would all join together and is it that there is an alien Among Us already
Well let’s see if president sends help to those people who lost everything.
i was going to say "you're kidding, right?" but im guessing you're that stupid. who ties your shoes and wipes your ass for you?
This is no time for a dumb comment. FEMA is actually what it is called and of course he will. Geezzzz....
Why should he? This happens time and time again but they still choose to live there. "How many times do you want to beat a dead horse"❓
@@dcbeez5956 Because we live in a first world country and these people need help, they contribute to society to, every place in this country has dangerous events. Tornadoes, earthquakes, ect. Tell them just don't live there doesn't help them.
@@dcbeez5956 i totally see your line of reasoning. i live in ND and we see the same thing with the wealthy people that build on the river in my city. then they get flooded once every 10 years and come begging for handouts. i don't get it. but it does seem the wealthy on the coast, and the poor inland keep building and keep getting bailed out. makes no sense to me but they'll get bailed out again for sure.
Man this comment section is a sespool.
Whats that make you?
All that land yet most of you would not allow a homeless person to pitch their tent shame on you now you are homeless. !!!
