Well, I guess we don't count here for the NOLA news stations...this weather is extremely bad right now...the wind is stronger than any storm we had in at least 6 years...but no coverage! I'm taking about the South Lafourche area...Cut Off, LA

For this system, the warmer on the ground the stronger the potential storms. I mean, that's true for most weather tbh.

I'd say we got gusts about 30 here near Touro.

And on radar, the storms down by Cut Off looked worthy of the severe warning. Any tree damage down there.

What kind of detector do you have and do you like it? I want one . TX

It is a stand-alone Acurite unit. It senses lightning up to 20 miles away and counts up to 99 strikes. Batteries last about 6 months. $26.87 on ebay. I have been very pleased with it.

They do make a more expensive version as part of their high-end weather station.

Anyone else feel like this system sitting on top of SELA kind of has a "tropical" look to it on radar? I swear I'm seeing a subtle rotation with a feeder wrapping around a central area over the northshore.

Gota say, the local news sites need to go back to local meteorologists' forecasts. I really miss WWL's twitter feeds from the weather center. Whatever farm does 4,6,8 are very very bad.

Thanks, just looked that up and now it makes much more sense with what I'm seeing on the radar. The more you know. Been lurking here for years, learn something new with every system that moves through.
