*** Hurricane Marco and Laura Thread ***

[Millennial_Messiah]

Marco set to hit Louisiana as a category 1 or 2, minor hurricane tomorrow.

Laura could be a major direct hit next week, depending on track and land interaction with Cuba.

Bad news for Trump/current local administrations. Would be best if they both "split the difference" between Houston and New Orleans.

Discuss.

Damn didn't realize Little Marco had hit hurricane status

RIP the state of Louisiana

Could use a weak TS over central Texas

Laura has potential for much worse than that.

Laura has potential for much worse than that.

Turn her west.
Turn her off at the coast.

And then let her soak Central Texas.
If you could do that I’d be grateful.

[Dirks_Finale]

Seriously, was really looking forward to some rain...

Turn her west.
Turn her off at the coast.

And then let her soak Central Texas.
If you could do that I’d be grateful.

Weather forecast on the news today was just saying Marco would bring us some cloud cover and that's about it on its current projected track west through South Texas after turning when making landfall in Lousiana. Well, current track as of around five I think...

[Millennial_Messiah]

Laura has potential for much worse than that.

Katrina potential depending on track and intensity, but no reason to believe she won't at least, minimum, be a category 3 tbh.

[Darth_Pelican]

Marco turned out to be nothing but a weak TS, heading west of us.






Laura is heading toward the LA/TX border. Could be a strong one.

[ChumpDumper]

Good news about Marco anyway.

Yep. She is more south of Cuba than anticipated. Rapid Intensification could be a problem because then that will create a more westward Track

[Millennial_Messiah]

yes but Darth_Pelican fortunately looks like more of a Rita track than a Katrina track, i.e. hitting a very sparsely populated area, splitting the difference between Houston and NOLA.

Don't know why Marco all of a sudden weakened from a cat 1 hurricane to a weak TS over open water. Maybe Laura strengthening was shearing him apart? Lol

[phxspurfan]

both completely underwhelming

[GAustex]

Central Texas ain’t getting nothin

[phxspurfan]

ECMWF has it hitting where all the dud hurricanes hit. That random spot on the TX/LA border. Non-issue

[SnakeBoy]

Two hurricanes in the gulf and I'm still going to have to buy water. Wtf can't catch a break.

[djohn2oo8]

Forecasted to be a cat 3 at landfall
