CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System Prepares for Laura’s Impact August 25, 2020

(Beaumont, TX, August 25, 2020) – We continue to closely monitor the progress of now Hurricane Laura as it intensifies across the Gulf of Mexico. As expected Laura strengthened and is expected to make landfall to Southeast Texas or Southwest Louisiana late Wednesday/early Thursday morning as a major hurricane.
