I don't know what's going on but I got a duck in my pool. I guess the tornado blew the little duckie in

Wasn't a downburst to blame for the plane crash at MSY back in the day?

Must admit that I'm a little jealous of the duck getting to enjoy a nice pool setup like that.

I think that's correct. No flights have arrived at MSY since 3:53pm, already a few diversions to BTR from LGA and DEN.

That's not your pool. If it is, you are gonna need a bigger pool?

Kinda looks like two tornadoes.

The "N" on the helmet stands for "knowledge".

This does not make me happy. My flight will be landing at MSY in about 15 minutes.

Wrote a paper on that crash (have an aviation degree). You are correct and that crash spawned all sorts of changes to how the industry monitors and deals with windshear and microbursts.
