Hurricane Laura makes landfall on Louisiana coast
Laura also brought along a catastrophic storm surge that will lead to flash flooding in southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana. The winds are expected to prompt several tornado warnings for areas in the storm’s path. Destructive winds are expected more than 100 miles inland.
