The threat from laura comes at the same time heavy winds and torrential rains from another storm named marco are already slamming into the same region tonight. And while marco is weakening right now, forecasters say Tropical Storm laura, which has already killed more than a dozen people in haiti and the Dominican Republic, will only grow stronger and more dangerous. Now that could make it the most powerful storm to hit the area since hurricanes katrina and rita landed one after the other 15 years ago. If that happens, it would upend President Trumps plans to speak at the Republican National convention on thursday night.
