Hurricane Laura - Storm Watch

submitted by wahala from self.news

With this first major hurricane of the year hitting in the Gulf, I thought I'd share some links to some storm chasers whom I follow. Please share any of yours as well. Stay safe, my Gulf coast friends. This one looks pretty ugly.

Thanks for the post.

People in New Orleans need to get ready for the worst. Houston looks like it will be mostly fine though

I believe it's near Golden Meadow, LA.

LA got hit fairly hard. It didn't even really rain in Texas though. It made landfall in a good place, just in between populated areas

I was surprised by how low the surge turned out to be. NHC was warning it could be 30-40 miles.
