#Laura intensifies much faster than forecasted before landfall. The inner core ( #KLCH) substantially contracts in the past 6 hours. Over very warm water, the storm outflow effectively resist the shear coming from the upper-level jet. Still RI, a Cat-5 is very likely at landfall. pic.twitter.com/8hvy45GXyP

Looks like Laura is hugging the west side of the cone if I’m looking at it correctly

with surge like that, in topography like that, I just can't imagine there's a safe place to be within 30 miles of the coast in the landfall area
stay safe y'all

At least Laura seems to be turning over the past 2 hours.

Space City Wx guys says the turn is happening now."
Laura is moving northwest at 16 mph, which is blazing fast for this part of the Gulf. For folks in Houston, it's important to know that Laura is doing what is expected, and "the turn" is underway. It's not "if" or "when." It "is" happening, and thankfully in the world of 21st century meteorology we can say that with authority. We will not be hit too hard here by this storm. Laura is expected to make landfall on the Cameron Parish side of the Texas/Louisiana border as a category 4 hurricane tonight perhaps around or just before midnight.
Yeah we're already on a backup, backup plan. Should tell you how serious this is getting.
Apparently chasers are already sending out 911 calls near the coast.

Where do y’all think landfall will be?
Topeka, Kansas
or just west of Holly Beach, La. One of the 2 for sure.
