TROPICAL STORM LAURA CONTINUES NORTHWARD OVER SOUTHERN ARKANSAS
CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
STORM INFORMATION:
At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Laura was located
near latitude 33.4 North, longitude 92.8 West. Laura is moving toward
the north-northeast near 15 mph (24 km/h), and this motion should
continue through tonight. A northeastward to east-northeastward motion
is expected to begin on Friday and continue into Saturday.
Tropical Storm Laura is expected to become a depression tonight.
Isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible through tonight across
Southwest Louisiana. There is a low risk of flash flooding.
FLOODING RAIN:
Additional impacts from flooding rain are still a concern across
Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas. Remain well guarded against
locally hazardous flood waters having further impacts of limited
potential.
TORNADOES:
Little to no additional impacts are anticipated at this time across
Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas.
SURGE:
Little to no additional surge impacts expected.
WIND:
Little to no additional impacts are anticipated at this time across
Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas.
Do not enter evacuated areas until officials have given the all clear
to return.
If your home or shelter was damaged, be alert to the smell of gas
leaks and be cautious around electrical wiring, broken glass, jagged
metal and wood, and protruding nails and screws.
Do not attempt to return to evacuated areas until local authorities
have inspected roads and bridges and have given the all clear. Hazards
like downed power lines and trees, washed out roads, continued flooding
in low lying areas and non-functioning traffic lights make travel
difficult.
Do not go sightseeing within impacted communities. Sightseers
interfere with the emergency work of first responders.
When clearing out fallen trees, be careful with chainsaws and axes.
Always wear protective gear and keep others at a safe distance. Leaning
trees and those which have fallen on roofs or power lines can be
especially dangerous. If you are not in good health or unsure about
what you are doing, have someone with tree cutting experience do the
job. Never cut trees without a partner.
If using a generator, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by following
instructions provided by the manufacturer. Operate your generator in
a well-ventilated space outside of your living area and away from
open doors and windows.
Problems with sewer backups can further contaminate standing flood
waters. Keep children away from flood waters. Also, listen for boil
water alerts as tap water may have become non-potable.
As it pertains to this event...this will be the last local statement
issued by the National Weather Service in Lake Charles LA regarding
the effects of tropical cyclone hazards upon the area.
