Hurricane Season

As Hurricane Delta takes aim at the Louisiana coast and all of Acadiana, the Lafayette Parish School System announces it will close all schools and facilities on Thursday and Friday.

The drive-thru assistance and mobile registration centers should reopen tomorrow, weather permitting.

Residents in storm-damaged areas of the state may still apply for assistance to replace food lost in Hurricane Laura.

All items collected today will immediately be taken to Lake Charles families in need.

The president is making the trip two days after the Category 4 storm slammed the Gulf Coast, leaving at least 14 dead and wreaking havoc with severe winds and flooding.

The prevalent winds are still coming from the south/southwest and, as they do, they are pulling water from the Gulf of Mexico inland.

Lafayette has several resources available via telephone contact or via their website.

There are 5 different skycams in Lake Charles, Louisiana and areas around the city.

Relief efforts will look a little different this season due to COVID-19.

Tropical forecasters are keeping a close eye on two tropical systems that could affect the Gulf of Mexico.
