re: Let's Do It Again: Severe Threat 3/30 - Line of Severe Storms leaving SELA. AL in it now

This is probably up because of Ida recovery and the tornado recovery the other night given the region selected as there isnt a reason the winds would be significantly higher here vs BR or Northshore.

I was in Thibodaux, Houma, and Chackbay this weekend and was surprised to see how many piles of debris are still along the roadways. Lots of recovery and cleanup left to do down there.

I understand the high wind warning, but the 'power outages are expected' part I'm not sure. 90% of the power poles down here in Lafourche / Terrebonne were replaced after Ida and all the weak tree limbs are gone.

Sounds like basically a Tropical Storm.

Many people still have tarps and an unrepaired roof. Not ideal.

The power outage language is overdone. I expect there to be some but not widespread or anything.

Unfortunately, for your area and a bit West, the parameters will maximize into the late night/early morning. That is why there is only a Slight Risk back in Oklahoma. Don't get lulled by placement of the risk level. You're caught in the time gap between days.

I thought the ground temps cooling off lowed tornado risk.
I’m never going to get this right.

Y’all are only thinking of the shite that fell all the way in Ida. There’s a ton of cracked trees and limbs that appear to be healthy but just waiting for a 40mph wind to hit it from the right direction to come crashing down. Just last week when we had 35-40mph gusts, I had a big arse limb that came down and there were two decent sized trees that came down down the road from me. Lots can come down in 40-50mph winds spread out over four or five hours.

That seems reasonable. I think the areas that did not have the extreme winds for Ida will be more likely to lose power but will still be spotty outages (hopefully).
