Tropical Major Hurricane Laura

Unsurvivable storm surge with large and destructive waves will cause
catastrophic damage from Sea Rim State Park, Texas, to Intracoastal

could penetrate up to 40 miles inland from the immediate coastline,

I still can't get over Katrina "only" being 125. Hard to believe this monster is much more powerful than Katrina.
