In the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Marco weakened to a tropical storm as it approached Louisiana this morning — the first of two major storms expected to wallop the Gulf Coast in just 48 hours. In the Caribbean, Tropical Storm Laura flooded homes and killed at least nine people in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. It’s expected to strengthen to a hurricane ahead of its landfall between Houston and New Orleans late Wednesday.
