As of Tuesday morning, Laura was just below hurricane strength but forecast to become a “major hurricane” on Wednesday, according to the NHC. The storm was about 145 miles away from western Cuba and 625 miles away from Lake Charles, Louisiana, as of 7 am on Tuesday. Credit: Nick Underwood/NOAA via Storyful
