I am lucky to be alive. While I was driving through an intersection, my vehicle (the black SUV in the picture) was T-boned and slammed into another car. I’m thankful my airbags deployed and so glad I had my seatbelt on. I have some injuries, but grateful I was not seriously hurt.

@MTymecki @PaulHBeckwith It was the construction equipment crashing into the bridge that caused the damage. Maybe it would have been okay if the barges and cranes were removed ahead of the wind and surge?.

Meteorologists & Journalists: This is not the time to be making jokes/memes about #Laura on social media. It may be difficult to understand the gravity of the situation if you haven’t lived through a major hurricane, but many people are scared and the “humor” is not appropriate.
