HurricaneLaura caused the walls of a church to blow off in Orange, Texas, but edlavaCNN says there is “minimal structural damage” he sees in the town.
From CNN's Brandon Miller
By Sunday morning — when the storm was only a 50 mph tropical storm over Haiti — the National Hurricane Center was projecting the storm would make landfall in the early hours of Thursday morning in far western Louisiana. It should be noted that later issuances of the forecast did move a few miles east and west over the next few days as the National Hurricane Center forecasters continued to evaluate the computer forecast models. Still, the Louisiana/Texas border region continued to be the focus for the storm's landfall.
