Perhaps, but give it a couple of hours since Laura is still 120 miles offshore.

Look at the current specs.

Sustained 150 mph
Hurricane force winds up to 60 miles out
Pressure 940mb
Potential storm surge of up to 15'
Still strengthening.

The Mississippi River delta is directly in the path which means the surge could push sea water upstream up to 80 miles inland at the same time as dumping huge amounts from the sky.
