Yeah... can someone else take one for the team on this one? I can throw in some boudin and crawfish to sweeten the deal lol. Pretty sure the city just came by recently to do their "last" round of debris pickup for Laura/Delta.

Not the best SS of it, but wow. Thing is a monster.

Oops... Yes, good catch. That's what I get for posting while also being in severe weenie mode

According to the WMO, the names Dorian, Laura, Eta and Iota from the 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season have been retired. The Greek alphabet will no longer be used for future hurricane seasons, and a supplemental name list will be used in its place. Interesting. https://public.wmo.int/en/media/press-release/wmo-hurricane-committee-retires-tropical-cyclone-names-and-ends-use-of-greek

For anyone wondering, this is what the majority of roads in Lake Charles look like at the moment. I assume the surrounding cities that were impacted look similar as well. Debris pick-up was starting to make progress on some of the more busy roads, but just barely. Mostly only semi-cleared on the main arteries. It was nice having north facing windows for a bit I guess? .

With a large pile of debris in eyeshot of my apartment and a tarp on the roof (the normal around the city right now), yeah, can confirm I'd rather not have this one.

Interesting. Wasn't really expecting to see a mid-day day 3 update come out.

Last couple of HRRR runs want to push an isolated cell through Central LA overnight with the warm front retreating north. Cant think this would really cause too many problems with the overall environment... But wonder if it could leave some remnant mesoscale boundaries that could persist until initiation time tomorrow.

6 more tornadoes surveyed by LCH today too per the PNS. I believe LIX and SHV might have confirmed a few more as well.
