I saw a video of Cecilia it looked really bad. Looks like the tornado went through a trailer park.

Idk. Like I said… I’m dumb. Someone explained it on here last time.

Either we have way too many of these or God hates trailer parks.

The last tornado warning we got in Lake Charles (right before it went over my house) said "Extremely Dangerous" on it.

Must have been pretty bad right there near Baton Rouge.



Schools are closed today in Zachary and Pointe Coupee because of trees down on roads and widespread power outages.

That’s bad.

Kind of feel like an a-hole now for being annoyed that our flight out of BTR yesterday had to jog west slightly before going east.

At least you got in. There was a Delta flight headed to MSY that made it to Mississippi before it turned around and went back to Atlanta.

Looks like west side and northern Baton Rouge burbs got hit again last night. Not nearly as as bad as the tornado outbreak last month but almost the same areas - Morganza, False River, Zachary, etc.

Rumors of a storm related fatality in West Baton Rouge. Hopefully that’s not true.

I got an alert bf we lost power but Kiran said a pregnant lady died when a tree fell in WBR last night.

correckt! It's a total of 11 miles driveway to parking lot and it took me a hour.

backups at Airline and Perkins and Airline and Highland were probably 20 mins each.

I liked James Gregory, and that's one of my favorite bits of his.

To be serious for a second. Trailer parks probably don't get hit any more often than anywhere else. It is just that the threshold for considerable damage is so much lower for a mobile home. I am directly familiar with this reality. An EF1 tornado passed within fifty yards of the house I grew up in and that my Mom still lives in. It did no damage to our home, though we had some tree limbs and random damage. It did no damage to our neighbor's home. Its immediate path more or less split the two homes. It did minimal damage, from a tree falling on the corner, of a house directly in the path across the road.

That tornado, an EF1 that did minimal damage to three site built homes, absolutely demolished a mobile home just to the West of the homes. It relocated most of it across the road, and moved the frame a considerable distance. Fortunately, no one was home at the time.

They make fine homes for those who need them. You just have to understand their shortcomings, and never stay in one when high winds or tornado are possible. You just can't stay.
