This storm was still less intense than one I remember 4-5 years ago. It blew through at 8-9 am during the week and I actually sheltered in the hall.

Oh- I was at work when that one hit. I actually had an offsite early morning meeting and was arriving at work just as the first raindrops started. I was able to make it inside and watch through a wall of glass as that storm moved in. It was easily the coolest looking storm I’ve ever been in as it arrived. The boundary of the storm was so defined and it got really dark.

Man that sounds about right. I happened to be at home alone that morning because I worked late the previous night. I've still never experienced a run of the mill storm like that.

You're not even without power are you?

Based upon what I'm hearing and seeing i didn't take the worst of it, my kids' light plastic toys are still pretty much where they were yesterday just knocked over...But I am on the western end of the neighborhood on the back.

Weather is so interesting. I am also in Westminster. Woken up by the pounding rain and lightning but didn’t have the same intensity of wind you guys are reporting. Near Westminster and Blecker. I looked down the street and it just looks like we had a thunderstorm. I see no branches in anyone’s yards nor shingles off. Even some of our lightweight things in the backyard are right where they are supposed to be. Guess I was lucky.
I got hit on Essen Heights (house is fine, branches down, storm debris all in the street, no power), it must have started here before heading across the creek northeast. It went from nothing to everything in two minutes flat. We got the phone alert a good five minutes later

The one near Independence is confirmed.

That one doesn’t look all that special on radar
It sounds like the one in BR would have probably been confirmed if it was daylight.

I worked about half a mile from that train wreck. I got some cool pictures before I was asked to leave the area by state police.

How did you not get shot?

Independence one is confirmed by NWS Radar. The one in Baton Rouge could’ve been confirmed by radar also BUT the radar returns over BR/Ascension are terrible. Guarantee Steve Caparotta blasts the NWS for that again at some point while talking about the lack of prior warning for this. We’re stuck between the Slidel and Lake Charles/Laffy radar sites and because of the curvature of the earth, it sometimes leaves out critical signature details over this area.

He was somehow able to do a very difficult task - he listened to the guys with the guns and left the area like they asked him to. Probably included a “yes sir” or two.

Oh hell no, we should burn down an Auto Zone or loot a Best Buy.
