How is LSU closed and not ULL? The center and worst part of the storm goes through Lafayette.

Actually Baton Rouge is on the western edge of the severe weather risk. Judging from what we are seeing now coming out of the gulf, that was a very good prediction....although Lafayette probably isn't out of the woods completely.

A tornado was attempting to form in waggaman. I'm at cornerstone chemical plant across the river from the airport. Barge operator reported that it was spinning and sucking some water up over the river

Tulane University is closing in 30 minutes.

Actually it looks like a couple of those strong cells may track a little farther north than I thought....maybe closer to New Iberia, Henderson, and towards False River.



Edit. Actually most of them appear to be tracking slightly slightly more northward. East of New Iberia might get it soon. That puts some of it right over East Baton Rouge and southern Pointe Coupee later.

Here is the LINK to the storm chasers.

I'm a contractor out here. I don't know many folks

I'll be reporting live from Hammond, I'm about .25 miles north of selu.
