Generally looking for a solid 3 with a 4 if it overachieves.
Frick, Ike I think was either a small Cat 3 or Cat 2 at landfall around Crystal Beach and it wiped that poor town out and sent storm surge from Anahuac damn near to I-10.
I also didn't have power for 2 weeks. Damn 2020.

That's a center reformation IMO. The overall hurricane is still moving right along WNW as the NHC claims.

Ike was a gigantic Cat 2 that brought a tremendous surge with it relative to it's category. Laura isn't going to be nearly that large, but will still bring a big surge near the core.

Hell, I'm in Nashville and might have to prep for the storm.

The center is forming more NNW while the majority of the storm is staying on the WNW track?

Unfortunately has that kind of hook shape of a storm starting to wind up. Looking at WV, outflow is starting to expand on the north side too.
I am sorry for the question, but does the intensity/strengthening at this point still create more of a pull to the west. I am only asking because I have cancer treatment soon and I am trying to make some decisions as to where I will be heading.
I also understand there are lots of variables and I do not wish this on anyone so I will not mention where I am at....but will say I am stressed lol

Don't be sorry for asking. This is the sort of question I like to answer here.
The intensity isn't going to make much of a difference at this point. It's only a question of how the thing steering it evolves and we're talking details and small shifts.
Without knowing your location I can't really say what would be best but I think east to BR or NOLA or west of Houston or let's say Austin would be your best bets. I wouldn't go Houston to Lafayette. I wouldn't really want to go due north to Shreveport or along I49.
Wishing you all the best. frick cancer.

Connect the center position before that reformation to the forecast track and it seems to still be on the overall general WNW heading. Check out the yellow line. Now, if that NNW "motion" continues and turns into actual "motion" then lookout Vermillion Bay.
I’ve been saying this since the 10:00 am advisory. Laura is projected to be at 23.8N at the 4:00 advisory but she is already at 24.3. Also the motion at the 1.00 pm advisory was due NW. I guess she has to show that movement through the 4:00 pm advisory to officially to changed to a NW motion

Not to mention a swath of 70+ mph winds across the entire length of TN...
That’s just insane
That’s just insane

The best bet right now, if you are in or near the cone, would be to prepare and make decisions as if Laura will be making a landfall very near to you. If you're in that cone, your planning needs to be as if it is coming right for you. No one can tell you exactly where landfall will be right now, or what exact impacts your area will see.
Prepare for the worst; hope for the best.

Insane, yes. But keep in mind that those figures are the maximum POTENTIAL GUSTS.

It is behaving exactly as predicted.

Would it be possible for Laura to move off the coast of North Carolina and then reform back into a hurricane?
Posted on 8/25/20 at 2:06 pm to white perch
Eh, I see her missing her forecast points to the east. Watch the direction her clouds are shooting off as well.

Thanks for the replies
Good luck man. I know it wasn’t an easy call.
