The next time someone asks me when was the last time two hurricanes were in the Gulf of Mexico at the same time, I can tell them it was in August of 2020. And I was there.
Their names: Hurricane Laura and Hurricane Marco. Both are just tropical storms now but expected to become Category 1 Hurricanes before landfall.
The last time there were two at the same time was in the 1930's. Yes, it's a rare event.
Even as I write, both storms are headed toward the Louisiana coastline with the projected landfall somewhere between New Orleans and Morgan City starting tomorrow
We live just north of New Orleans across Lake Pontchartrain and a few miles inland. We are on high ground and do not plan to evacuate. Even so, we'll be keeping an eye and an ear on the news.
