A 14-year-old Leesville girl was killed when a tree fell on her house, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said Thursday morning.
As of 8:30 a.m., the girl is the only known death from Hurricane Laura's aftermath.
"We have about 1,500 people engaged in search and rescue moving into Lake Charles area now," Edwards said in a Thursday morning interview with CNN.
"We're also going to have to do some of this search and rescue work all (the) way up the western side of state as the storm moves north."

I think public awareness of situations like this is one thing left to improve upon in preparedness for storms.
It seems like many of the storm deaths these days are trees falling on people.
It is great that only 1 person was killed so far, but these kind of deaths are mostly preventable.
Prayers to her family and friends.

I believe a 68-year-old man died as well. I heard it on Channel 15 News in Lafayette. I don't recall the cause nor location yet. Will look for it.

68-year-old Iota man killed by falling tree during Hurricane Laura identified
A 68-year-old Iota man died after a tree fell on a home during Hurricane Laura, the Iota Volunteer Fire Department confirmed Thursday.
The man, identified by Acadia Sheriff K.P. Gibson as Jimmy Cart, was killed when a roughly 50 to 60-foot pine tree fell on the bedroom he was occupying. The man was dead when firefighters and other emergency responders arrived on scene in the 3500 block of the Eunice-Iota Highway.
The other people in the home were not injured, Iota Volunteer Fire Department Chief David Douget said.
The tree was the only one that fell on the property, he said. There was no evidence of a tornado in the area and responders believe a strong wind gust felled the tree, Douget said.
This is the second reported fatality from the storm, which made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane.
A 14-year-old girl died in Leesville when a tree fell on her house.
This report will be updated with any additional information.
