Watching the visible satellite, you can see how Laura’s eye continues to clear out:

You’re saying a direct hit might be best for us?

As opposed to a state border hit, absolutely. State border hit will push a frick ton of water up the pass and gives you the worst winds.

Can only hope it weakens the last 100 miles or so as it interacts with the shallower water along the continental shelf. And maybe a little shear interaction with that trough

I'd settle for levels off at least, but hope for that. A well timed start to an EWRC as it hits the shallow water and the shear conditions change could do it.

Even if not, just leveling off instead of intensifying is a small victory. You see the max winds over a wider swath of land when intensifying into landfall vs even just starting to wane.
