Odonnell good evening, and thank you for joining us. Were going to begin with breaking news tonight and a dire warning to americans in the path of hurricane laura. As we come on the air, the monster category 4 storm is on a collision course with the texas and louisiana coastlines, and its growing stronger by the minute. Tonight, laura is on her way to becoming a catastrophic category 5 hurricane when she barrels into land just a few hours from now. Nearly 15 years to the day of hurricane katrina.

Forecasters are projecting up to 60 Miles Per Hour winds and that would be a major problem for power lines and the potential for downed power lines and for people to lose power, something that were already seeing in the southern part of the state as the hurricane moves through there. I will say that folks for the most part are taking those precautions. The casinos here alon
