One social occasion attended by several lawmakers is political turmoil in Ireland.
As tropical storms Marco and Laura continue to disintegrate in the Caribbean this weekend, prompting warnings and vigilance for several countries, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards suggested to citizens who are aware of the pandemic in their emergency preparations.
“Covid-19 is no less risky because of the tropical climate,” said Edwards, who pleaded with others to come with a mask and hand sanitizer in their emergency kits.
The governor declared a state of emergency Friday and requested a federal emergency statement at the White House Saturday, when he warned that Marco and Laura were expected to temporarily arrive in the state early next week.
Marco about 185 miles northwest of the western tip of Cuba early on Sunday morning, with sustained maximum winds of 70 miles consistent with the hour, the National Hurricane Center said.
On Sunday morning, Laura about 65 kilometers northeast of Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital, with sustained maximum winds of forty-five miles per hour, depending on half of the hurricane. Laura’s middle expected to move near or over Cuba on Sunday night, and then gain strength as she advanced over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico.
The typhoon is expected to produce 3 to six inches of rain in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with some spaces reaching up to 8 inches, said half of the hurricane. Cuba is expected to get amounts of rain. The Dominican Republic and Haiti can get up to 8 inches of rain, with up to 12 inches in the southern regions.
Marco may be over the weekend but would begin to weaken Monday or Tuesday, the National Hurricane Center said. The typhoon is expected to produce one to 4 inches of rain, with six-inch remote amounts, in eastern Mexico, according to forecasters.
Dennis Feltgen, a meteorologist at the National Hurricane Center, overturned the public hypothesis that storms would strike and shape a monstrous, single storm. “They can’t merge,” he said. “In fact, they are repelled because of rotations.”
