That high wind spot is right along 90 where the population and businesses are located.

They should be sheltering. It would put down a tornado quickly.

Once this blows through you should be good. Maybe some rain showers later.

I came around the 90 degree turn on city services headed north to i10. Traffic was backed up and then I started seeing all the transformers and power lines going down. Baws were turning around and going back towards Citgo and around the other way.

I followed the around and up beglis and there was a power pole on a jeep in the southbound lane.

I don't wanna do that again.

A huge limb just fell bringing down the power line.
I just watched the wind move my neighbors mower trailer in the road too.

There's overturned cars on city service in Sulphur. Avoid that area in front of Walmart it's a mess. The gas station is destroyed. Lueters were grabbing whatever they could get there hands on.
