Another strong storm about to hit south EBR / north Ascension. Not warned yet but will probably have hail.

I'm in Prairieville and I wasn't home when it hailed. Was it enough to worry about roof damage? My daughter said it lasted about 10 minutes.

Just drove down Arnold rd. In Walker, east of hwy. 447. Major damage, trees down, power poles down, homes damaged. I was working 1 mile south of there today and it didn't get that bad. Just some pea sized hail and some bad straight line winds. Had to have been a tornado. Demco crews are out there in force working to restore power.
