Hurricane Laura is expected to become a Category 4 storm and slam into the Louisiana and Texas coasts as a major hurricane Wednesday evening. At least 20 million people are in the storm's path and over half a million have been ordered to evacuate.
The hurricane, currently a Category 2, was "rapidly intensifying" over the Gulf of Mexico early Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center said, adding that it's expected to "produce a life-threatening storm surge, extreme winds and flash flooding over eastern Texas and Louisiana later today."
As of early Wednesday morning Laura was located about 315 miles south-southeast of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and 335 miles southeast of Galveston, Texas, according to the hurricane center. It was moving northwest at 15 mph and had maximum sustained winds near 110 mph.
"On the forecast track, Laura should approach the Upper Texas and southwest Louisiana coasts on this evening and move inland near those areas tonight or Thursday morning," the hurricane center said.
"Laura is forecast to become a category 4 hurricane today, and is expected to be a major hurricane at landfall. Rapid weakening is expected after Laura makes landfall."
