Lots of shots of the high rises with their windows getting blown out and debris flying out of the broken windows.
Guessing the capital one building is the main one. Wondering if the windows were substandard or if the winds were just that strong

Appearing that the storm surge wasn’t as bad as predicted, but significant wind damage.

That building has a lot of exposure. Tallest building downtown and it’s right on the lake with not much else around it. Also 150mph winds.

Idiots on the Today show are showing reporters from Lake Charles to make it look live and it’s obviously from much earlier With it being dark and extremely strong winds.

Holy shite the comments on that tweet. “Why would someone build a building like that in hurricane alley?”

Social media truly gives a voice to the stupider people in this world.
