Many windows were blown out of [[Capital One Tower (Louisiana)|Capital One Tower]] downtown. A communications tower collapsed onto the [[KPLC]] studio building (which had been evacuated), and part of a sky bridge was blown out. The radar at the NWS Lake Charles forecast office (whose staff evacuated, with the office's operations transferred to the [[Brownsville, Texas]], office) was destroyed around the time of landfall, with its dome and much of its internal equipment sheared from the radar tower's base. A few weeks later, [[Hurricane Delta]] also hit Lake Charles.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Spradling |first=Travis |title=Aerial photos: See Hurricane Delta path of destruction in southwest Louisiana, weeks after Laura |url=https://www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/multimedia/photos/collection_94453d32-0b19-11eb-83f0-d312054ff57f.html |access-date=2022-12-12 |website=The Advocate |date=October 10, 2020 |language=en}}</ref>
