FOX: Thousands of people were ordered to evacuate the Texas and Louisiana coasts Tuesday as Laura strengthened into a hurricane that forecasters said could slam into land as a major storm with ferocious winds and deadly flooding.
More than 385,000 residents were told to flee the Texas cities of Beaumont, Galveston and Port Arthur, and still more were ordered to evacuate low-lying southwestern Louisiana, where forecasters said more than 11 feet of storm surge topped by waves could submerge entire towns.
“Heads up! Today is the last day to prepare for Hurricane #Laura. Evacuation zones are based on potential storm surge. If an evacuation has been ordered, life-threatening storm surge is expected. Get your loved ones to a safe place…their life depends on it!” the National Weather Service tweeted. more
Wear your masks, dammit.
…and a snorkel would be good to have, too.
It’s spinning up fast. Megacylone (3 or higher)/
OMG!
My Petey B says Hurricane Laura looks like my swirling unbleached elastic starfish!
Cindy Sheehan is 100% ready to camp outside Mar a Lago, to blame Trump for a hurricane he could have prevented.
The Democrats claim it’s merely a peaceful windstorm and not a hurricane.
Just like Gavin Newsom declares California wildfires to be “mostly peaceful”, from today’s Babylon Bee.
Laura is now going to wind up to Category 4, and wants everyone to call “xir” Karen…
Ah, just wonderful, the last time we had evacuees from houston & NO, SA enjoyed a record crime spike.
Texas and Louisiana button down the hatches and stay safe. You will be in our prayers tonight and God Bless. 🕊️❤️🙏
