As many have heard, on August 23rd Hurricane Marco was declared a hurricane by the Air Force. According to the Orlando Sentinel, Marco is about 85 miles south-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River moving 10 mph with decreased maximum sustained winds of 50 mph.

The storm is projected to approach Louisiana sometime Monday afternoon, the NHC’s 8 a.m. We urge residents in that area to stay up to date on the news and to prepare as much as possible for flooding and other storm damage.
