All that Louisiana got from this go around was a little wind and a good bit of rain. We have reports from the coast, up to the north of Louisiana that there is minimal damage if any. Reporting for LFUR News, Siku Husky.

A woman and her teenage son were arrested and four pit bulls were rescued after authorities responded to a complaint that neighborhood children were holding dogfights in the backyard of a New Orleans Ninth Ward home.
Cynthia Brooks was booked with allowing dogfights at her home.
Kathryn Destreza, director of humane law enforcement for the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, says Brooks faces up to 10 years in prison and as much as 25-thousand dollars in fines.
Brooks’ son, whose name was not released by authorities due to his age, was charged with cruelty to animals and dogfighting.
