In update, Gov. Abbott urges those in Hurricane Laura's path to get out before window to evacuate shuts. Rescuers are not expected to be able to work from 7 pm tonight until 9 a.m. Thursday
Tropical storm force winds expected to hit Texas coast near Tx-Louisiana border around 7 pm tonight, with landfall around midnight to 1 a.m., Abbott says.
"We urge everyone who may be in harm's way to take these last hours to get out of harm's way," Abbott says, adding that local officials are worried at number of people yet to leave, fear word of Laura's dangers is not getting out.
At least Laura is going to be moving faster than Harvey, which should minimize flooding, but storm surge could send high, dangerous waves 30 miles inland, officials said. Classified as "unsurvivable" storm surge. High winds a worry too.
Laura is now a Category 4 hurricane with max winds of 140 mph, National Weather Service says.
