Weakened but still dangerous, Laura to pose continued threat

Remnants of Hurricane Laura unleashed heavy rain and twisters hundreds of miles inland from a path of death and mangled buildings along the Gulf Coast, and forecasters said an eastern turn would again make the storm a looming threat, this time to the densely populated Atlantic Seaboard. Trees were down and power was out as far north as Arkansas, where remnants of the storm were centered as the once fearsome Category 4 hurricane weakened to a depression after dark. Additional damage was possible as new tornado warnings were issued after nightfall in Mississippi and Arkansas after one of the strongest hurricanes ever to strike the United States barreled across Louisiana on Thursday.
