Here is a close up look in the eye of Major Hurricane #Laura using our 1 minute satellite imagery. An incredible sight.
Laura continues to strengthen over the Gulf this afternoon with landfall expected late tonight.
Stay safe, Texas and Louisiana! #txwx#lawx
@gw_emily @SunnyBreezeJH If it remains 157 mph or higher [sustained], then yes. So far, it hasn't met the criteria... but wouldn't doubt if it does in the next few hours.
@BIGNUT29169437 sustained wind speeds haven't made it to 157mph yet, but central pressure continues to drop. now at 948mb. appears to be strengthening?
@_LunarPrincess The video is from the warning a few hours ago, not the most recent one. The most recent tornado was on the ground and partially rain-wrapped. Hope your sis is okay.
@VeronicaGlaze@DFWscanner Yes--no tornado touched down. It was only radar indicated rotation and has since passed. No damage reported, but some power outages in isolated areas due to lightning.
