Hurricane Laura made landfall as a category 4 hurricane, leaving parts of Louisiana and Texas without power and water and estimates that it would be some time before their return. With temperatures in the 90s, heat and dehydration became a
concern. The Salvation Army was on the ground the following day to deliver water and sports drinks as well as snacks and meals. One resident, Deatta, whose house was severely damaged talked about her fear as the ceilings caved in and her windows blew out around her. The simple luxury of a few bottles of water made a tremendous difference. \u201cThe Salvation Army is the only organization I\u2019ve seen on the ground this early. It just means so much to know that someone cares about us.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
