Just over a week later, Ruston and Lincoln Parish are unquestionably marked by Hurricane Laura, the first storm to ever retain hurricane-level force long enough to reach our area this far north.
Ruston and Lincoln Parish have moved from COVID-19 red zones to yellow zones, according to the latest state report from the White House Coronavirus Task Force.
In the midst of helping locally with recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Laura, a disaster relief group from Rolling Hills Ministries headed to Lake Charles Thursday to help the region hardest hit by the Category 4 storm.
