The National Hurricane Center has forecasted "unsurvivable storm surge" from Hurricane #Laura in parts of Louisiana and Texas. Do NOT underestimate this storm. This is what that kind of water height looks like:
331
8,533
3,782
14,529
#HurricaneLaura is likely to produce storm surges, high winds, and rainfall hazards that extend far outside the eye of the storm, along the Gulf Coast. Stay safe everyone! A great visualizalization on storm surges was done by @weatherchannel #NOLA #Texas #storm #news

In true Texan spirit, we would like to thank the local Texas fire departments who have mobilized this year to help suppress wildfires as part of the Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System (TIFMAS). Learn more about TIFMAS at https://teapaw.org/t.co/Pp5bW5KRzo.
