Pray for Louisiana

[52]

Louisiana bracing for Marco to hit within hours.
Laura on path expected to also hit Louisiana by tomorrow.

[Mister Obvious]

I heard they are preparing for the worst...

I don't think they'll ever see anything as bad as Katrina again in the space of 100 years though.

Could be wrong, but I really don't think so.

[Mister Obvious]

I doubt the two systems will do anything besides weaken each other.

[Mister Obvious]

I just looked at the latest updates and it looks like they already diffused each other for the most part... probably a lot of rain, which of course can be a problem, but other than that I think everything will be okay.

[52]

Latest info being talked about, Laura 2 days behind. Marco could by then move back off shore with Laura a hurricane by then, run into Marco, both combine and then re-slam back ashore.

[Mister Obvious]

Oh dude...

That's crazy doomy.

The water will be way too cooled off by then.

That's my bet.

Shitload of rain though.

... probably a lot of rain, which of course can be a problem....

It's bone dry here right now, so rain ain't gonna hurt anything.

[ELFUNGUSMAXIMUS]

It's bone dry here right now

I could fix that quickly

[52]

Laura still churning twords Louisiana. Experts say the current storm may grow up to a CAT 2 by the time in makes landfall behind Marco.

[user328]

Still bone dry up here.

[52]

Laura just went to hurricane status

[52]

Shift is on. Houston on Warning. 
Experts believe Laura may make landfall as a CAT 3

[52]

Update 8:30am my time per NHC
Potentially catastrophic storm surge expected along Northwest Gulf coast tonight, steps to protect life and property should be rushed to completion in the next few hours.

Laura expected to make land fall as a CAT 4.

20 ft. storm surges expected in some areas.

A lot of people didn't take this storm seriously...

Myself included, I figured it'd die down massively.

Guess not.

It doesn't appear to be a direct New Orleans hit though.

Gonna hit after midnight or so...

Pretty scary shit.

[52]

Last I heard , eye of hurricane is 35 miles wide.

[52]

Waves 35 ft. High

( Katrina was 22 ft. High)

[52]

Maximum sustained winds as of 10pm are 150mph.
Residents who are staying are being told to write their full names on their arms.
And to write down emergency contacts and next of kin on a piece of paper and place it in a waterproof zip lock bag, and attach it to their bodies.

[52]

Land fall expected around 2am.

Laura  is closing in on a CAT 5 status.

[somethingelseishere]

I sure hope it fizzles out by the time it hits land.

[52]

IT IS MAKING LANDFALL NOW!
