Hurricane Laura is still projected to stay well north of us.
We’re way down in the south tip of Texas dodging the bullet. Laura is supposed to make landfall as a Category 3 hurricane at the Texas Louisiana border tomorrow night; a direct hit on Beaumont and Lake Charles. That’s four hundred miles away from us. It sucks that anybody has to get hit by this, especially an area that just got saturated by Marco. They’re going to get a lot more water.
The one we took a while back to see the wood storks. The road there doesn’t usually look like this.
And it’s really not supposed to look like this!
You can see where the road continues underwater by tracing the curve of the tops of fence posts on the right to the bank on the other side.
Again. Darn low spots.
But now she’s lagging behind. Marco, the one that we thought was going to hit us, is now headed toward New Orleans on Monday.
Then Laura, who was supposed to hit New Orleans, is now projected to come ashore further west, by Houston, on Wednesday.
The land between Houston and New Orleans is going to get hit by two hurricanes two days apart. Ouch. Now we, way south in the Valley, are not expecting anything more than spotty showers. The bus is still locked and loaded though, just in case.
Are keeping our eyes to the east. Right now, we see two tropical systems, both of which might become hurricanes, headed for the Gulf of Mexico at the same time. I think two at once makes the path of each less predictable.
We’re packing more stuff into the bus.
