The Weather Channel has once again put together an alarming simulation to help inform viewers through disturbing visuals how serious the storm is going to be.
Storm surge flooding at just three feet means it’s “too late to evacuate” and cars will be floating.
But there are places that could be facing over nine feet of water and possibly up to twelve.
“This is why you need to pay attention to the latests forecasts for Laura, and evacuate now as ordered to do so. It just may save your life,” Greg Postel told viewers.
