In the face of Hurricane Laura making a direct impact on Louisiana, our area could see substantial flooding, and area agencies are making sandbags available to residents to protect their property.

Obviously, we don't know what the future holds with regard to this storm, however, some forecast models have Laura heading into northwest Louisiana as a category one hurricane toward the end of the week. With that possibility in mind, it's time to shore things up around your house and get prepared just in case.
