LIVE: A look at Hurricane Laura's track as winds now up to 150 mph

Hurricane Laura is an "extremely dangerous" storm approaching the Texas/Louisiana coast, but Houston will likely avoid the worst of the force.

[lilanarcisse]

Prayer is the answer of everything. God listen to our prayer.

[WhimsyWendy]

Florida here. I will not give up on TX and LA. Will continue praying for the mercy of the Most High to spare them from the worst. I feel sick for them.

[xilacheng]

My Prayers are with you all. I am a dorian survivor in the Bahamas and we are praying for you guys here.

[cenamills]

Cover them under your blood father god . I'm praying for you all .All the way from Jamaica

[NewYearGoalzz]

I pray those who are stuck. Pray keep praying god will protect you. He will not let you perish. No storm or disease shall come near thy dwelling. 🙏🙏❤️

Fill up tubs with water for flushing. Store water in and out of fridge for drinking. And long term if water is tainted, remember your water heaters have many gallons of drinkable water.
Dont forget, write name and ss on your arms and legs with a sharpie. Just incase.

I worry about the people who can't leave because they can't afford to or know anyone to stay with. Louisiana isn't the wealthiest state in the union by a long shot

[TheMambomaster]

If this hurricane hit Tampa Bay there would be major 1 million people live in Pinellas county. Most have never been thru a major hurricane.

[sibanez]

Father almighty mercy and calm the winds...in Jesus Christ we ask.

[dippychic]

God please protect those that could not get out, please give them a miracle of your hand of protection over them! Amen

[bethanyjohnson]

God help the people in south Louisiana and Texas. I have a brother in Lafayette. Praying for everyone's safety.

[Mute]

I’m from Florida and oh my gosh! This is terrifying! Get out of her way y’all!

[prnsaur]

Always wondered where Illona Carson ended up after Phoenix

[debracox]

Stay strong fellow Houstonians stay in prayer 🙏🏾💪🏾

We were 30 miles from Andrew’s eye wall.
It was extremely powerful.
Sounded like all the demons of hell screaming all night.
This storm is just as powerful and about 3 times larger.
I’m so fearful for those that didn’t/couldn’t leave.

[bitemyshinnymetalass]

Sounds like it could become a CAT 5 by the time it makes landfall. I thought things were bad being surrounded by wildfires.

[clarapowell]

I evacuated yesterday but I’m so so nervous that I’m gonna lose my house. I live in Lake Charles LA
