 According to Gov. John Bel Edwards, an 86-year-old man from St. Martin Parish perished on Sunday when a generator inside a shed got damaged when topping. The generator could have been going non-stop but did not give it a rest that caused the accident.

 Early Sunday, a report by Florida officials indicated another death during the storm. A 19-year-old tourist from Illinois died accidentally drowned by a strong riptide caused by the storm's remains in the Gulf Coast.

The hurricane made a landfall Friday night in southwest Louisiana, considered a Category2 storm that lessened over land. The weakened state that wrought damage followed Hurricane Laura when the latter struck earlier.

 Laura's death toll is at 32 people; 7-dead on the day it lashed the areas affected by it. Casualties died by suffocation caused by the generators creating carbon monoxide that killed them.

 One storm after another in six weeks battered this part of Louisiana on Sunday. Winds and rained ripped tarps all over, twisted metal, and power lines destroyed affected communities.

A freight train got itself derailed in Atlanta. This sparked a fire that made the residents leave their homes but went back soon after. Several crew members were hospitalized and released by the doctors.

 One of the towns affected badly is Lake Charles, pummeled by Laura's power that left many habitations and buildings damaged. Affected were 8,000 Louisiana residents who left their homes for safety courtesy of Laura. They are still in these shelters on Sunday, rehabilitated if their communities are not finished. Added to the shelters are 850 from the Delta evacuees.
