Hurricane Hurricane Laura

I’ve driven over that thing. Scariest bridge I’ve been on besides the old Huey P Long in NOLA. Zero room for error or you’re off the guard rails.

I sat on top of that thing in a traffic jam, for somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes. I know bridges are supposed to shake, but geeze... That's the only time I ever felt like I needed to text my friends one last time. :-/

No significant change in strength is likely before landfall.

By chance, are there any links to storm chasers who are going to ride out the eyewall?
