We had a Tornado Warning at 2:30 this morning in West Baton Rouge Parish. Pulled the radar up and my eyes popped out of my head. The hook echo passed directly over us. The clouds were insane.
The amount of people who were oblivious to it is sickening! I just did some preaching on FB. EVERYONE needs a NOAA Weather Radio and everyone needs to stop silencing their phones at night... It could make the difference between life and death next time.
My parents, brother and many friends all live in Wills Point (VZ County). I was up there helping my mom recover from surgery during the April 2017 tornadoes and that was scary enough to last me a lifetime. I have never seen skies look like that!!
I live in the SELA region, but that forum doesn't seem to have as much discussion going as this one. I hope its ok to hang out here!
Thank you to all who help contribute!!
Thats some pretty big shoes to fill. The El Reno Tornado was 2.2 miles wide, which broke the record against the 2 mile wide Hallam Tornado.
Definitely anxious to see the final report! From the very few clear videos I've seen, it was a monster!
