Hurricane #Barry is making landfall in central Louisiana. The potential for flooding remains the most severe expected impact. Some of the heaviest rains have yet to move onshore, but that will happen later today/tonight. Winds as high as 75 mph are occurring near the coastline. pic.twitter.com/c3VcGe9uIw

My uncle sent me this video from his rig out in the gulf. This was before Barry upgraded to a hurricane and was still at tropical storm level. Keep in mind how far up off the water these platforms usually are. Barry is making landfall now right where my family is. 😢 pic.twitter.com/YrCdUSKbzV

#Barry is the 50th #hurricane on record (since 1851) to make landfall in Louisiana. September has had the most LA hurricane landfalls (23), followed by August (11), October (10), July (4) and June (2). No hurricanes on record have made landfall in November in Louisiana. pic.twitter.com/jiUvgTqVKW

A few hours of power outrage – no electricity, no air conditioning, people stuck in elevators – in NYC should remind us all how unconscionable it was for this administration to let Puerto Rico go without power being restored in some areas for 11 months after Hurricane Maria.

No-deal could be Johnson's biggest deception yet

To prevent catastrophe we'd be forced to agree deals galore

Having led two succesful EU wide negotiations- it's clear to me we would be doing so from the weakest of positions. More in my article below:https://t.co/Qx49dIR8dO
