The wind field around the center of Hurricane #Laura is so intense that birds and insects are caught in the calm eye of the storm… Obvious on the correlation coefficient product (right).

HURRICANE LAURA MAX. WINDS AT 150MPH… Hurricane Laura is poised to make landfall overnight near Cameron, Louisiana as a powerful, very dangerous category 4 hurricane. Maximum winds have increased as of the 9PM CDT position update to 150 mph. Unfortunately, the worst of the forecasts have come true. This will be a devastating next few hours for areas in eastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana. The rarest of the rare, an Extreme Wind Warning, will be issued soon for parts of southwest Louisiana.
Our thoughts, prayers, and well wishes are with the people of Louisiana and Texas tonight. This will be a hurricane talked about for decades to come.
