[AtascocitaWX]

Wow, Powerful Storm. So at this point we are radar watching looking for wobbles and praying no unexpected surprises.

Looks like my call was too far down the coast but this is one of those cases, for our sake, when I am glad to be wrong.
Man I really feel for those in LA. This is going to be bad - probably a good deal worse for Lake Charles than Rita if you can even imagine that.

where was your call ?

[AtascocitaWX]

its amazing how much this storm is growing.

[MontgomeryCoWx]

Hurricane force winds could extend out to Harris and Montgomery Counties. That’s how much she’s grown.

Wow

where was your call ?

Surfside to San Luis. Thought the GFS was undergoing the ridge and I was expecting one last model push west and it didn’t happen.

So what can I expect here in freeport as far as wind and rain goes?

Is this accurate?

If Jason's call busts, so does mine..mine was the West End of Galveston Island...Wxman 57, I think, was High Island...

It was posted by CNN. Take with a handful of salt.

[tireman4]

Morning sounding from Lake Charles, LA shows southwest flow above 400mb that will start shearing #Laura near the time of landfall. This could halt intensification or cause slight weakening just before landfall. Unfortunately, it will be too late to prevent a Cat 3-4 strike. pic.twitter.com/3lgJ9YSe5M

Careful with information being posted on social media. Always know the source and research reliability and accuracy of the original poster. That said it looks like something generated a day or two ago...

Thanks Now this looks more reasonable. but wind threat still high for my area. Still have about 18 hours til landfall.

[ccbluewater]

What a monster. Hope everyone in the path of Laura has listened to evacuation notices if they are in those areas.

[prospects8903]

I live in Orange Tx...I evacuated but what can I expect there as far as impacts of the storm
