I know there are some issues in the NOLA and north shore areas this morning but it’s always so predictable here. Raining or storming in the NOLA area = this place is on fire. There could be multiple tornado warnings in the BR area and we’ll have a new post every 20 minutes or so here lol! Myself and the few other BR area posters are a rare breed around these parts

I think it comes down to behavioral demographics. If one did an analysis of the locations of our posters, I'll bet one would find that a much larger percentage comes from the metro New Orleans area; therefore, there are more comments more frequently from those living in NOLA and surrounding environs (Northshore, LaPlace, etc.). It's basically the same reason why you see so many people wearing LSU paraphernalia in Southeastern Louisiana as opposed to Texas, Alabama, or (God forbid) Ohio State paraphernalia.

If you scroll through posts by our admins, however, I do think you will notice that warnings and updates are posted for indeed much of the Gulf South, except maybe for Florida. NDG pretty much never gets any rain.

We try to serve posters from all over the Southern region as best as we can.

^^^ What Jim said. When I'm online, I TRY to relay warnings and reports from west Louisiana through the MS Gulf Coast. I used to try from Houston to the FL Panhandle, but we just don't have many members from those parts to justify constant monitoring. Heck, at one time years ago, we actually had separate sub-forums for each area. That just go too tough to handle lol.

Just checking in. Nothing like a tiny piece of metal stuck in the eye even when grinding with protection. Dealing with that. I have had 2 inches since midnight. At some point in the wee hours we lost power. Don’t know for how long but seems weird as it appears to have been
widespread including different providers. Spring outdoor projects shut down. Muddy and water n electricity is a no go for me. U may want to consider this if u have a standby generator: I leave mine off at night. We go to bed by 11pm and up at 6am. I just showed my wife how
to turn it on if she is first up. The freezer and refrigerator are fine for hours when kept closed. We live in a typical clustered hood and the generator is not only loud outside my window but for the neighbors also. Last night was a prime example. It was off, not necessary at that point and and we all slept.

You do an awesome job buddy. I get most warnings here before the TV or other media. Consistently.

Did the phones alert last night on the Southshore? Thought I heard it but I may have been dreaming lol. I did wake up sometime and it was raining and thundering to the point of being loud in the house beyond normal conversation levels.
