Laurie Plunges Towards Florida Hurricane Laurie nears west coast Florida
Hurricane Laurie moves toward the Florida west coast with 110 mph winds as residents brace for possible damage. A disabled trawler and a damaged tanker race Laurie to port while the National Hurricane Center issues a hurricane watch from Everglades City to Cedar Key. Civil Defense goes on alert with no immediate evacuation planned. Meanwhile Camille's devastation along the Gulf Coast prompts residents to return home as Laurie shifts east. The storm sits about 390 miles west-southwest of Tampa moving east at eight mph. A 260 mile south of New Orleans a seven-man trawler drifts under 90 mph winds as Coast Guard cutters struggle to assist.
