RNC to be completely overshadowed by devastating Hurricane Laura

God bless all those affected.



Updated at 2 a.m. ET Wednesday

Hurricane Laura is "rapidly intensifying" and will make landfall late Wednesday or early Thursday as a major hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Laura is currently a Category 2 storm with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph. Forecasters predict a storm surge from 9 to 14 feet when it strikes near the Louisiana-Texas border.

The storm surge estimates are "staggering amounts, life-threatening amounts," NHC Director Ken Graham said.

When Republicans sent all their “celebrities”—Trump, Junior, and the usual gang of idiots—to Louisiana to campaign for a useless Republican candidate for governor (he lost).

The LNG terminal Trump bragged from is in the direct path of the hurricane because, you know, ETTD.
