Squall moving in toward Liberty County may pack a bit more of a punch.

Man she’s bombing out. Unbelievable intensification. Prayers to all in the direct path of Laura

This is becoming one of the more challenging chases I've ever had with Josh. Really making life threatening decisions.
Have fear that there will be some chasers that lose their lives by pushing it to much.

Has anyone measure the distance from eye to edge of the core, looks like glancing blow to the whole I-45 corridor. Any one agree?

That's what I've been saying . Is watch the western edge of the CDO. Any nudge west makes a huge huge difference to the i45 corridor

Latest dropsonde indicates a minimum MSLP of 948 hPa, continuing Laura's rapid deepening. We're now up to a ~21 hPa decrease in 8:30 hours since this morning's first center pass.These plots are now updating on my site by demand: https://t.co/T3LMwEkg2r pic.twitter.com/vgrn0LOtzj

Yeah it was really small but I wasn't expecting such a good wind gust out of it.. It has returned to sunny and dry again. Near the mall

#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

What does that mean for Baytown and surrounding areas?

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.
