Yeah...the apps won't do you any good when you have a tornado bearing down on your home, telling you when it will hit and what to do. Not to mention you have a human giving you a forecast with specific details vs. a generic computer output.
#Laura
is still expected to be a Cat. 3 to 4 hurricane at landfall late-tonight along the TX/LA border. This will have catastrophic winds and storm surge.

Who is ready for a taste of fall temperatures?? 🙋🏻♂️
It looks like we're in for a treat as we end September & start October. Looking ahead 8 to 14 days, SE LA will see an increased chance for below normal temperatures. Woo hoo!
