It hit hard on Grand Isle, a popular waterside getaway and recreational fishing destination. “That thing just souped up and kicked all of our butts, especially the levee,” said Lan Tivet, a member of the Grand Isle town council. It's been an especially active season in Louisiana, hit so far by two tropical storms and three hurricanes, including Laura, which devastated southwestern Louisiana in August. “We're so close to the end of hurricane season that we can't jeopardize — just start a project sooner — it's not an option," she said.
