Not looking good for Laffy. Might have to pack up the family.

I'm 15-20 miles south of Lafayette and won't leave unless I guess "maybe" a 2 but 3 for sure. 1 I'm staying put. Funny thing is my plan would be to evacuate to my sons in Lafayette -- guess I need to ask him if he cares!

approx when will we know the trajectory around Cuba? tonight?

By morning it should be clear but at this point I'm thinking basically entering at the western tip of Cuba. Cuba has decent radar so we'll be able to see the progress on pretty clearly.

is Laura pretty set?

It's pretty set at this point. Little details on track will matter a lot of you're in Lake Charles/Beaumont/Port Arthur region.

How far are you willing to drive?
To avoid Marco...Dallas area
Bigger Issue....To avoid Laura..Dallas area
Big D checks both boxes

Laura will track west if it goes south of Cuba.
