On August 29, 2020, the Gulf Coast was devastated by yet another powerful hurricane. Hurricane Laura made landfall as a category 4 storm with sustained winds of up to 150 mph. The city of Lake Charles, LA was hit particularly hard. As a business operating out of Houston, TX, we understand just how terrifying the aftermath of these storms can be. Back in 2017, in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, friends from our neighboring state of Louisiana were there to help us get back up again and we wanted to do the same for them.
As quickly as possible, we headed down to Lake Charles, LA to offer support. HRS provided over 100 temporary generators to get people and their businesses back up and running quickly. Our team also handed out bottled water and ice to anyone who was in need and drove around offering help to as many people as they could.
