I guess I should be clear, there will be heavy rain and some gusty winds, with the possibility of tornadoes. (and of course people should stay out of the water) It's just good news that the system is decoupling rather than staying stacked where it could retain its strength longer, or even strengthen.
Sadly the forecast for Laura doesn't include shear doing this to that storm.
