Doesn't seem to be true. No tornado watch/warnings from New Orleans NWS. Nothing particular on radar.

Curious as to if this has happened in recent memory. No watches at all and a tornado just pops out

Noon sirens just went off at a plant perhaps? Hell we aren't even under lightning alert.

Stuff looks weak on the radar.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

news outlets are usually pretty quick to put out a warning or if one actually did touch down.

How about you put a question mark on thread title before freaking people out.
