If she did as I said, her brother or whatever should have had an uneventful drive.

You remember how the weather people didn't hype enough for the day that Lee County got hit? Talk of the SPC blowing it, despite calling for an EF3 tornado in the right location like 30-40 minutes before it dropped.

Yes, yes it did. Again, get off the TV and read Weather.gov.

what happened in hurricane Katrina




Katrina was a full on panic once the models had lined up New Orleans and it hit a Category 5. The problem was it left a day and a half to evacuate the entire fricking city of New Orleans. People took Katrina seriously.

the 2016 flood


Record smashing floods have no precedent, so the ground level impacts aren't easy to predict at all. People didn't leave places because they had no concept of how high the water would get. The system was well predicted. Had a signal days in advance for a big swatch of 20"+ across Louisiana and for the better part of a week for somewhere along the gulf coast.

Is it true statewide government offices were closed today? If so that is the most idiotice governmental thing I've heard of in 67 years.

On February 28, the Storm Prediction Center(SPC) issued a day four risk for severe thunderstorms across a broad region of the Southeast United States stretching from northern Louisiana through northwestern Georgia.[1] A broad slight risk was introduced the following day,[2] and a more narrow enhanced risk was raised across portions of southeastern Alabama and southwestern Georgia later on March 2 where the threat for tornadoes, some potentially strong, appeared most likely.[3]




These guys suck.

The age of social media and fear, I can somewhat understand schools closing but business closing and people acting like a category 4 is about to make landfall is just absurd.

Meteorology is not a perfect science. Multiple people were killed in Mississippi by tornadoes over the weekend. There has been quite a bit of damage in Mississippi today. So these threats have not been busts, even if they haven’t for Louisiana.
