‘Wish casters’? With that group of evil, it’s likely more like ‘spell-casters’. Fact is, I would not be surprised in the least if they were actually praying to satan that the worst possible scenario happens, just to cast aspersions on the President.
It’s taking them a lot longer than normal to put out the 10AM advisories and discussions. Must be a lot of uncertainty.
“The current and forecast synoptic
pattern should steer Laura west-northwestward today followed by a
turn toward the northwest tonight and toward the north by Wednesday
night and Thursday. This will result in the hurricane making
landfall in the area of southwestern Louisiana or the upper Texas
coast late Wednesday night or Thursday morning. The new forecast
track before landfall has been nudged a little to the west of the
previous track in response to a westward nudge in the guidance.
However, it still lies a little east of the consensus models at the
time of landfall. “

It’s out, not much has changed except the intensity forecast.. Next 2 updates will probably decide who needs to mandatory evacuate. Pray for those in the path and those who are evacuating.
No way is Houston,TX napping. They definitely have their heads up on Laura. When you live on the TX Gulf Coast during hurricane season, you’re always front and center on each and every hurricane.
Galveston already has a mandatory evacuation order in place.
Voluntary evacuations
Chambers County
Brazoria County
Seabrook
Nassau Bay
Bolivar Peninsula
As you can see, the upper TX Gulf Coast is wide awake.
The Weather Channel said there is a lot of dry air surrounding this storm as it moves north and they hope this can take some of the strength out of the storm before it makes landfall but they don’t see much wind shear so are not sure how much impact this dry air can make.
Apparently you haven’t heard about the damage the Houston Rat leaders have done to the economy in the name of Covid.
A hurricane would majorly compound that. And it’s a already bad...
Galveston City has already announced mandatory evacuations.
One thing this has shown me, the forecasting models are garbage until these things are right on top of you.
These people have been wrong about everything that both Marco and Laura have done.
The only source that I have found that was even slightly correct was tropical tidbits.
Houston Rat leaders have done to the economy in the name of Covid.

Explain please. Thanks
You probably looking at a flat map. There are distortions..that could be one.
And still no visible eye
Part of it is the "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality of local news. I have seen local weather people saying "it still may make a turn!" when the storm is making landfall elsewhere. They are like Dr. Faucis clamoring to be listened to by the masses.
Been out of the hurricane loop for a couple of days.
What happened exactly with Marco?
Thanks.
Little Marco fizzled.
Into a bunch of bubbles.
What about Jefferson and Orange counties? Any info?
Hammered by 30+ mph wind shear, ripped it apart before it could make landfall.
Mandatory evacuation began this morning for Jefferson Co. Orange Co. voluntary, mandatory for nursing homes.
