\n A Confederate monument in Louisiana that local officials voted to keep earlier this month was damaged by Hurricane Laura as the storm battered the Gulf Coast Thursday morning, a report said.<\/p>\n

The statue of a Confederate general<\/a> that stood atop the South\u2019s Defenders Monument on the grounds of a courthouse in Lake Charles was blown off during the storm, the Daily Advertiser reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cLake Charles and Calcasieu Parish has been filled with controversy and tension after our parish government by a vote of 10-5 refused to take down the Confederate South\u2019s Defenders Monument,\u201d Louisiana resident Davante Lewis wrote in a tweet with a photo of the felled monument.<\/p>\n

\u201cHurricane Laura had other plans and brought it down herself,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury voted by 10-4 to keep the monument in a vote taken on Aug. 13, according to the Daily Advertiser.<\/p>\n

The statue was dedicated in 1915 to soldiers from the area and surrounding states who had fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War, according to the report.<\/p>\n

In the lead up to the vote, Parish officials received 945 letters from the public about whether or not they should move the statue off the courthouse lawn.<\/p>\n

Of the votes tallied, 878 were against relocating the monument and 67 were in favor of moving it, according to the Daily Advertiser.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
