SVT's climate correspondent Erika Bjerström traveled to the most affected city in the USA, Lake Charles in Louisiana.

Robert Swain Jr. was affected in 2020 when Hurricane Laura partially destroyed his home.

- I mostly think that we need more help from the government and a system so that people can get help.

Even though he is a pensioner, he has to work extra packing food bags to make the rent.

- I have nothing against rich people, but I think they want us to live in poverty.
