Even though more than a year has passed Since Hurricanes Delta and Laura affected Louisiana, hundreds of residents remain displaced and there are still houses under reconstruction . The bad weather this week did nothing more than sink its finger into the wound of the neighbors, who now see the recovery of some homes much further.

Florida was not exempt from witnessing tornadoes late Thursday afternoon. The citizens of Kissimmee warned of the presence of two tornadoes and powerful wind gusts that spread towards the Gulf coast, uprooting trees by their roots and collapsing power lines in the area, but no injuries were reported until the moment.
