SharkmanthaC 115,027 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hurricane Laura is now a Category 4 storm, and is expected to cause catastrophic damage to the Texas and Lousiana coastline as it makes landfall over night. If anyone lives in this area, please evacuate if possible. If not, find safer and higher ground to go to. I really hope that there has been better preparation for this storm than Katrina. Here is the latest from the National Hurricane Center (as of 7pm August 26). For the most up-to-date you can go to http://nhc.noaa.gov Some points from the Weather Channel: Laura has rapidly intensified into a Category 4 as it approaches landfall. Laura will make landfall Wednesday night into early Thursday near the border between Louisiana and Texas. Catastrophic storm surge and damaging winds will affect areas near where Laura makes landfall. Storm surge could penetrate as much as 30 miles inland in southwest Louisiana. Laura is also an inland flood risk as far north and east as Arkansas and the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. Isolated tornadoes are also expected from Laura. https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/2020-08-26-hurricane-laura-forecast-rapid-intensification-texas-louisiana Live stream from Galveston, Texas where you can already see the water levels are rising. she/her/hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
