How many of our Liv/EBR people freaked out when your phone buzzed last night?

I think it was Geismar? I live in Prairieville and the wind was pretty wild.

I got up and went and turned on the news to see where it was as I had a lot of kids in my house at the time.

There was no confirmed tornado. They just picked up a couple of areas of circulation that could have easily produced a tornado...but I don't think they actually did.

Wife was freaking out because we watched Twister before bed (it was on A&E)
We had some strong wind gust for a minute but I didn't see any damage
Second time I got the message. Got one this past April/May when Baton Rouge went pitch black for that big storm

Watson here. Woke me up right before my alarm.

I woke up about 20 seconds before the warning on my phone went off. Def heard the "train" noise in Prairieville. Scared the sh!t out of me, but the only damage was that my garbage can was across the street.

Was unable to sleep till about 3 when it finally cleared out in my area.


Hate severe weather. Especially at night.

Got up and ran around like a confused/terrified chicken. I thought it was the intruder alarm. We raced to get the baby before realizing it was the phone.

Needless to say, everyone woke up a little tired since we were pacing until 315 to wait it out. Only damage was Christmas trees and poinsettias knocked over, gas lights out.

Even though it's unnerving, I am glad they send that alert. Tornados in the middle of the night spook me.

Scared the shite out of me.

Literally, I had to go to the bathroom as soon as it woke me up.
