The Weather Channel's Jim Cantore has been dispatched to Touro Infirmary to keep us informed. Too early to know the child's name. But the celebrity couple that births them is known as Laurco.
Short thread: Latest on TS #Marco & TS #Laura, both of which could bring impacts to portions of SE LA and MS. The more significant impacts are currently expected to be associated with TS Laura.

We know a lot of people are making the "cross the streams" joke right now. But I just want to point something out about that. Computer, enhance.

Probably not a coincidence at all that they come together right over the state capitol building. We all know that is where Gozer lives.
Meanwhile, this is all very stressful for us in New Orleans, which is a bit of surprise. One would think the hunkerdown alarm going off would come almost as a relief given the state of things. The thing about hurricane doom as opposed to *gestures at all of the other doom in progress now* is that at least this is the familiar doom. We know how to do this kind.
But, all the same, we were hoping to have electricity this week so we could watch all the horror/comedy to be presented at the Republican National Convention. We need some sort of eye-opener after being put to sleep by the Democrats' telethon or whatever that was. If it's any consolation maybe the mayor will come on TV and fire off a few jokes before the lights go out.
One thing is certain. This time there will be no need to impose a curfew. There's nowhere for anyone to go.
