Hurricane Laura & the D'Arbonne Swamp

During a period of four hours beginning at 10AM on Thursday, August 27,2020, the D'Arbonne Swamp changed for many decades. The change was aeolian in the form of Hurricane Laura. She was obstinate, eschewing the normal shape-shifting impotence that occurs upon landfall, and for the first time in recorded history still maintained a Category 1 status when she passed with the D'Arbonne Swamp 200 miles inland.
