Summary

Description	Français : Le service météorologique national de Lake Charles, en Louisiane, a enregistré une rafale de vent maximale de 116 nœuds (133 mi / h) à 1 h 42 HAC avant la panne de l'équipement éolien ASOS (station météorologique automatique). Cependant, le baromètre de l'ASOS qui était en toute sécurité dans le bâtiment du NWS (qui a reçu très peu de dégâts) a enregistré une pression minimale au niveau de la mer de 956 hPa à 02h20 CDT lorsque l'oeil de l'ouragan Laura est passé presque au-dessus. Le radar météorologique WSR-88D de Lake Charles, co-localisé avec le bureau, a enregistré son image finale à 00h53 HAC. Lors de l'inspection par le personnel du bureau de Lake Charles, il fut découvert que l'arrachement du radôme du WSR-88D s'est produite quand les vents violents du mur de l'eil ont soufflés directement sur le site. English: The National Weather Service in Lake Charles, Louisiana recorded a station record highest peak wind gust of 116 knots (133 mph) at 1:42 AM CDT before the ASOS (Automated Surface Observing System) wind equipment failed. However, the ASOS barometer sensor that was safely within the NWS building (which received very little damage) recorded a station record minimum sea level pressure of 956 millibars (28.23 inches of mercury) at 2:20 AM CDT when the eye of Hurricane Laura passed nearly overhead. The Lake Charles, LA WSR-88D recorded the final radar image at 12:53 AM CDT. Upon first inspection of the National Weather Service Lake Charles station discovered the WSR-88D radome failure within the high winds of the eyewall.
