Hurricane Lara

EGG-NEWS extends sympathy to those in the wake of Laura that made landfall as a Force-4 hurricane in western Louisiana in the early hours of August 27th and is now moving in a northwest arc through Arkansas and Mississippi towards the Carolinas with sharply decreasing wind velocity. Initial reports suggest heavy damage within 50 miles of the coast but no direct impact on broiler or egg production facilities. Additional reports will be posted when damage assessments have been completed
