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.

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. |
