Was looking at the Hurricane Laura, seems she'll be hitting Lake Charles port dead on.
Said Lake Charles port is currently in deep, swampy waters over some shenanigans over drainage of swamp water (big money, good money):

"A letter of intent executed in 2008 by IFG and the port stated IFG wanted to "develop an export grain terminal that would use Berth 8 located at the port's City Docks for loading ships for export."
The ruling found the port as being responsible for having Contraband Bayou ready to be dredged by IFG to the desired depth before the export terminal was fully operational. Under the contract with the port and IFG, the port was required to secure appropriate permitting through theU.S. Army Corps of Engineersand "proper assurance of slope stability along the proposed dredging area."
"Accordingly, we find the port liable to IFG for losses attributable to IFG's inability to market itself as a fully operational terminal and to load larger, deeper draft cargo vessels as was intended by its original business plan," the ruling reads.
The ruling also found IFG "suffered ascertainable loss of money as a result of the port's use of unfair and deceptive methods, acts and practices."
"We believe these unscrupulous activities were engaged in purposely by the port to cause IFG to abandon its project and leave the Port of Lake Charles," the ruling reads."
