As daylight arrived in Louisiana and Hurricane Laura made its way to the north into Arkansas, the full devastation of what the fierce Category 4 storm brought to the city of Lake Charles, La., started to come into full effect.
For Gray Television, the latest as of 11:30am Central was that all of its employees are safe.
For its NBC affiliate serving the market, which “abandoned” its building on Wednesday, the damage is breathtaking.
At 1:25pm Central, listeners of a Cumulus Media station in Lake Charles — at least those with live streaming access — were told “the building’s gone.”
