LOL. I feel bad for anyone living in/near New Orleans area. It's looking like they get to enjoy a DP of hurricanes....

Marco has dissipated into nothing, so the probability of a double hit is effectively zero.
Laura, on the other hand, is tracking more southward of Cuba, giving it highly favorable conditions to intensify in the gulf, and now most models are predicting a major hurricane making landfall in eastern Texas near Galveston.

Nah, I think at this point you're a day or 2 behind. As models have continued to produce, it's looking more and more like Central Louisiana
Galveston is on the very edge (just outside of the cone of possibilities):

As predicted by my last post - it looks like it is now being displayed by the more mainstream places showing something similar where TX is mostly unscathed and not going to be the direct hit:

Galveston, TX – August 24, 2020 – City of Galveston Mayor Pro Tem Craig Brown has issued a voluntary evacuation for residents living in low-lying areas and west of the end of the Seawall in advance of Tropical Storm Laura, effective 1 p.m. Monday.
...kinda looks like the flaccid/erect dick overlay in a high school health book.
Don’t know. I’m waiting on the 10:00AM model updates. I may stay put, board up and stay put, board up and leave.@Paratus you staying put for Laura?

I’m concerned it’s going to shift west a bit more, that leaves it over warmer water longer, leading to more intensification and higher winds in Houston.
Waiting for the 10am model here. I'm up on the NW side of Houston just outside 8, so I'm hoping if it does tinge the edge of us, it stays mostly to the East side. We'll be staying put but will probably play it by ear on Wednesday night if we decide to shut down our gym for Thursday.

There's no way you could've fit everyone in your RAV4. I have Land Cruiser and they couldn't all fit.You don't understand the value of having a large SUV vehicle until you need to evacuate quickly with 2 parents, 2 kids in car seats, 1 mother in law, and 2 dogs..... Aaaaaaaaaaand currently we don't have one, we pre-ordered an SUV to arrive at the end of the year.
Guess the wife/mil have to draw straws.There's no way you could've fit everyone in your RAV4. I have Land Cruiser and they couldn't all fit.

Aside, the 2020 RAV4 hybrid the wife just got rides a shit ton better than the 2010 she did have.
Yeah, both the 10am and 1pm models haven't changed anything. Wind appears up to 80MPH, not much rain.Can't say the 10am update gave me jack shit to change me from my undecided stance.
So far, I'm putting up hurricane shutters on at least my 1st story windows and plan to ride it out... as it currently stands.

Umm, where on planet earth do you live?we pretty much have model convergence on this thing going up the golden triangle area.
rav4 isn't a large SUV. it's a mid size minivan.
Ah, so your vehicle...Umm, where on planet earth do you live?
Cuz in America the rav4 is absolutely not a minivan much less mid sized.
Its a tiny SUV. Baby's first SUV.
SUV for midgets.
