Hurricane Laura's hardest hit town viewed from a Paramotor on 29AUG2020 

Thank you Mark. This has become kind of a specialty of yours and it's good that people can see the amount of true destruction when the news media is busy gloating about how little destruction and loss of life there was. It's amazing that some structures survived mostly intact while other apparently similar structures next door were decimated. I hope engineers are studying what caused the difference so future homes can be built to withstand 150 mph storms. I like the way you did this with no commentary, just letting the destruction speak for itself in respect for those affected by this destruction. You have performed a service for mankind. Now go have some fun.

The freeway cement pillars in the street give you a real idea of how powerful this storm was. Crazy.

The damage is terrible. I wish the victims and their families a quick recovery.

OMG,,,what devastation, they said in the Billions to rebuild, even the houses on stilts took a hit. Thanks for those cam shots, alot more detail than what i saw on the News Media.. You and your Paramotors buddies stay safe out there. and flying "barefoot" ?? watch your landings... thanks, Mark. 👍👍👍

That was some great aerial footage Mark! What I don't understand is why people build cheap and 'cute' traditional homes in hurricane and tornado alleys. In 15-20 years, this area will be rebuilt similarly and get the smack again. Insanity.

Best video documentation of Laura's wrath I've seen so far! Prayers for all impacted by this event.

Wow, like everyone else said. One house looks untouched and the one right next to it is completely gone, nothing but a slab!

Good vid. I worked in Cameron for 10 years b4 we had to close our base just last year. Eerie seeing the whole town destroyed like that. Was kinda hoping y'all had gone down the road where the base was to see what was left but I think y'all stopped just short of it and headed back into town from the video footage. Either way, thanks for the clips. DD

Intense. Not saying anything while recording made it more intense, until your camera started whistling towards the end. All the carnage sucks but the flight must have been a whole new level.

You got knowledge and courage.

Thanks for the ride along Mark. WOW, The power of wind and wave hey. Sorry to see so much damage. Beach combing for goodies looks like fun though. Cheers, Jerry

I worked in Cameron and it was already destroyed from Hurricane Katrina and Rita. I can see the trailers where I slept, what's left of them. It looks like the church survived again!

Man that's crazy, the concrete freeway dividers blown around really blew me away.

Thats really sad to see ! Thanks for the great footage ! 👍

I don’t understand why people put mobile homes next to the beach???

Absolutely amazing (but sad)! Some beach houses look untouched, while the rest was blown away!

I live 20 miles away. Lake Charles was always our home when our side(Texas side) got hit. God Bless them.

Wow! Thank you for this! So sad!

I’ve driven through a lot of these parts of Texas. It’s astonishing that anyone would build 7 feet above sea level, encouraged by insurance companies I imagine.

Amazing footage.

My heart broke for the pelicans. Thanks, as always, for the humanitarian work and transperancy.

How was it east of Cameron... That's where the highest surge and damage would of been?

Wow! Devastated, to see that much loss. Been through several of those, in my life, starting with Camille, back in 69, and not by choice, mind you. Thanks for sharing this with us, but get some shoes on. You never know when you'll have an engine out, and have to put down on ground that could by hiding glass shards, or nails. Right?

Cameron population is around 400

This footage. Of a very small place in cam'ron but the city of lake charles looked like this just more over two months later it still looks like a bomb went off here it's crazy

150 to 185 mph winds takes no prisoners also there were concrete slabs that looked like nothing had ever been built there, but the truth is Laura wipe them completely clean....also noticed some of the older homes seem to fair better than new ones that had structural steel in place..again Laura's winds peeled them back like sardine cans...absolutely no problem for total devastation from this storm....sheese...great video!🤠🤠🤠

Proud of you Mark

Beautiful video yet sad to see so much destruction. The houses on stilts seemed to have faired better than others which have been totally blown away. Thank you for sharing.

Mother Nature showing that she is STRONGER THAN BURN LOOT & MURDER 🙏❤🇼🇸✔

What insane shots you were able to document. Prayers to all!

It looks devastating. Nice video mark.

As always real and unfiltered!

Barefooted landings possibly painfull sometimes.

this is very sad incident. and prayers to those impacted families. I am wondering if people here were alerted , did they escape safely , lot many questions.this looks terrifying .Thanks Mark for sharing this.

Wow Mark, a few really well built structures on stilts and nearly all built on the ground were swept away. Hopefully a stilt requirement for rebuilding. Wonder how many people "rode it out" and their thoughts now?

Mother Nature is the true Boogie Man...

It will be quite a while before things are back to what will probably be a new normal. Hoping the best for all.

Mother Nature is a cruel 😢 mistress. Prayers for the town folk

Sad, thanks for sharing !!

How about Cameron?

Man the deciduous were stripped bare. It looks like fall there.

Imagine buying a beach house

10:17 How is there an RV out there? wow...

Over here in europe we can not even imagine how much wind that must have been. How can you recover from that? a sad sight....

That's crazy man!!

The dead pelicans are the most disturbing thing to me.

@5:26 an argument for building codes? That home looks untouched but otherwise, man what a mess.

So Sad! Wish I could build back all their homes out of concrete structures!

How's Critter lol

9:46 building looks like it was blown into a tree... like split by the tree

Very sad for the property owners and the businesses it will take an age to repair all that.☹️🇬🇧

I bet Meauxs will be back I'm a month

It's so sad to see the utter devastation, hope you all build back stronger after this.

Sure, let's build houses in the middle of the ocean, what could go wrong ?

I would be alittle worried about other search and rescue aircraft flying around out there. Get blended by a helicopter or something.

I would assume that all the houses completley demolished, weren't concrete block. I'm sorry but expect your house to be gone if it isn't. Its expected!!!

It reminds me of fallout

Sad to see all house in ruins But, why anyone wants to live by coast they should know the risk of hurricane went very often

You are way too low, hit a line and you will be hurt..

Poor pelicans

That first guy taking off in the beginning is so sexy. Haha, jk. Great video man!!!

They choose to live in a hurricane danger zone I don't feel bad for any of those people... The common sense thing is to not live in an area where you run the high probability of getting hit every year

Dang..............................so much destruction!

Lol who’s just all alone in an FLA is the real question someone come get there medics

O' wild this is enteresting i just wonder if this drone guys can go and. Help catch the devil and saved the ennocent children

👍😁👍

And not a si gle bit of coverage of any kind of this in Australia. It's all just stupid Corona.

ALQIAMAT ALLAHSWT 😇

Legends has it that if you are early enough to the video then Mark pins your comment

Thats mother nature letting us know that we shouldn't be living there

😳😳😳😳 Omg
