Lili bears down on Gulf Coast as Louisiana braces
Hurricane Lili strengthened to 110 mph and aimed at Louisiana, prompting evacuations from New Iberia to Grand Isle. Officials warned of 2 feet of flooding, $100 million in damage, and disruptions from Tabasco bottling on Avery Island to NASA shuttle plans. Evacuations and heightened alerts spread across Texas and Mississippi as the system neared landfall.
