re: Laura - President Trump visits Lake Charles, Louisiana for Hurricane Response Update

All of those times we’ve seen a smaller storm not have much time over the Gulf and said, “I’m glad it didn’t have more time. It could have been bad.” This is the storm that had more time. Stay safe everyone.

if you have family to the east, id go that way, whether its br, slidell, biloxi, nola

And if no other options, I'd head east and hang out in my car in a Walmart parking lot for 24 hours.

it basically means that if you were sitting in the eye the clouds all around you rise up in a fashion that it appears that you are sitting in a stadium. the clouds appear to widen with increasing height. Usually found in well-developed hurricanes with a clear eye.

Turn on tv

ahh ok.

How long does the dry ice in the fridge and freezer trick work? I haven’t had to do it since high school in Mobile. Think I might buy 2 blocks one for the freezer and one for the fridge in case I loose power in west u for a couple days

or just freeze a few cases of water

" Hurricane Laura Discussion Number 26
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132020
400 AM CDT Wed Aug 26 2020

Satellite images indicate that Laura has become a formidable
hurricane since yesterday evening. Deep convection has intensified
and become more symmetric, with an eye now trying to clear out. An
earlier Air Force Hurricane Hunter mission found flight-level winds
of 104 kt, along with peak SFMR values of 86 kt, which supported the
90-kt intensity on the intermediate advisory. Since that time,
however, the cloud pattern has only continued to improve, so the
initial wind speed is set to 95 kt for this advisory. Notably, the
aircraft also recorded that the extent of the hurricane-force winds
have increased substantially northeast of the center. A pair of
Hurricane Hunter planes should be in the area within a couple of
hours.

The hurricane has intensified a remarkable 40 kt during the past 24
hours, and there are no signs it will stop soon, with shear
remaining low-to-moderate over the deep warm waters of the central
Gulf of Mexico. Guidance is noticeably higher than before, so the
new peak intensity will be raised to 115 kt, and some models are
even a little higher. Increasing shear is expected to slightly
weaken the hurricane close to landfall, so the new forecast keeps
the previous 105-kt intensity near the coast."

Prayers sent.
I hope people get out of the way of this storm.
