A resident in Sulphur, Louisiana documented the damage on her home and garage caused by Hurricane Laura on August 27.

Heather Abshire circled around her house assessing the damage caused by the ferocious winds and rains.

Abshire points out that parts of her garage roof had been blown off and numerous branches of a tree had been scattered across their lawn.

She told Newsflare: "This is my house after the hurricane, it was worse than Rita.

"I survived in my closet. Me and my fiance, Jeremy Hebert, ended up getting stuck and had to ride it out."
