re: Severe Weather - March 25-26

Yea that may be a monster. In a populated area too

Yep. That’s a rough looking storm. The velocity couplet doesn’t appear to be super tight, so hopefully it’s not producing a tornado.

is that line in the MS delta expected to stay north and east of south LA? Are we in the clear in areas north of the interstate?

The Nissan plant at Canton/Gluckstadt is about to catch hell.

NWS Jackson has extended the tornado warning on that storm.

I don't think it ever produced. Took a run at it, but never wrapped up very tight

That’s correct…thank goodness it didn’t because it traveled through a very populated area of damn nice homes.

Not much as far as storm activity but the wind is relentless

All damn day here. Now it is steady at around 30 with a gust to 43.

We had Margaret Orr but she retired this week

I see what you did there.

Comparing Margaret Orr with a siren, we all remember when she let out this weird sound when she saw a tornado live from one their Skycams.


But back to sirens, I remember when Lafourche Fire district 3 would call its firemen with a siren. They would also run it daily at 6 or 7 pm as a test. It was also useful. As a kid if you heard that siren, your arse better be heading home for dinner. I don’t remember if they ever used it for severe weather. The only tornado I remember on Bayou Lafourche was the one that hit Edison Chouest and Argent Bank in Galliano in 1999. I remember seeing it form in the clouds. By then, I think the fire district switched to pagers. A week or two later, Houma got one a tornado that hit the TG&Y.
