Damn. Ruston has had some major renovations and improvements lately. Businesses coming in. Looks like it didn’t hit a lot of the new places. But that’s awful.

Heard a couple people didn’t make it. But a good buddy of mine there who went back for some grad school did, thankfully.

That was the worst part. Ruston wasn't expected to get severe weather and it came through at like 2 in the morning


That bitch mother fricking nature is so unpredictable. She pulled a fast one this morning.

Because of weather or Spring Break?

When did they decide to close?

Weather. Early this morning. Traveling around downtown and Tech was virtually impossible.

What's your point? You want to know why they didn't close schools and businesses for an overnight storm threat that you can't even grasp?

Gotcha..I'd imagine if they would have thought this was a serious threat they would have cancelled yesterday....

Just trying to put things in perspective and form a timeline of events. Just goes to show you how unpredictable weather can be and how you should never let your guard down. It appears Ruston almost let their guard down.....
