Tropical storm Laura looses steam and weakens completely

October 1st, 2008 - 8:09 pm ICT by David M N James -

Highly feared and susceptible Tropical Storm Laura has lost strength already drowning the fears that it was headed to become a major threat by the weekend.

Storm Laura became weaker late Tuesday as it pushed north in the Atlantic Ocean. The National Hurricane center in Miami observed that at around 11 p.m., the center of the storm was 330 miles southeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland.

The wind speeds had decreased and so was the intensity of the rains. This dispelled fears that the storm would engulf the coast in a torrent of rain and destructive howling winds by today or tomorrow. The National Hurricane Center had mapped a path of the Laura trajectory and had already established that Laura was moving north-northeast at 16 mph. The trajectory showed that the winds were moving towards the north coast of Ireland and Scotland by Saturday. Forecasters had already established that Laura would loose steam and eventually be stripped its tropical characteristics before long. Weather and hurricane experts put the maximum sustained winds of tropical storm Laura at 11 p.m. were 50 mph, a drop of 10 mph in five hours.

Experts have charted assessment charts which show that a tropical storm winds extend 230 miles from the storms center.
