Laura Lashes Out

Submitted by ub on

Hurricane Laura Intensifying in the Gulf of Mexico. ForecastEra expect it to Slam Texas, Louisiana Coasts as Category 3.

We have tried packing in as much information as I could on Hurricane Laura, which looks to be the most damaging hurricane of the season and is now expected to become a Major storm (that's the "M" in the track on the upper-middle image).

Amidst all the fuss with Hurricane Laura, there is also Typhoon Bavi, with maximum forecast wind speeds of 105 knots (120 mph) and gusts of 130 knots (150 mph). Given the route it is presently forecast to take, a slight shift will have it hitting significant population centers. https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/wp0920web.txt

For full information go online which will also contain explanatory material on some of the images.
