Have we always had these Spring pants-crapping severe forecasts and I have just not been paying it much focus until this year, or are they starting to get more numerous in general?
Two moderates in 8 days is a little unusual for the area, but weekly severe threats this time of year really isnt.
No mention really of an extreme weather threat as mentioned in the NWS discussion. These kind of wind events seem to me to be getting more numerous. I may start to consider those automatic shutters that you can press a button and have them roll on down like you have. Are they a ton of money?
Not cheap. The electric powered ones are even more. That said, they are another level of comfort and safety. CoolVue is where I send people. LAS is a ridiculous rip off and for some reason they prey on older people. CoolVue came measured my windows and doors and then custom built them at their shop in Kenner. They let me contract their best installer on the weekends and we became friends. I’m tool savvy and we both put them in. Saved lots on labor. Todd has since done work for friends and family. Meticulous. I recommend the manual roll down as it is not hard to wind them. I can get the whole house locked down in 3 minutes. We drop them every overnight severe threat. They also cut down most of the wind roar during storms. We also have a stucco house. Was really impressed with the noise attenuation. We have them for every opening on the house including the front door. You roll that one down from the front porch with a special tool. Ironically I blew off all the tornado alerts in 2017 and could not get them down in time when the Elmwood tornado came through the backyard. That will never happen again. Was pissed at myself. We really like the shutters but nobody will escape damage from an F3 in your yard. The shutters also provide disaster security and keep the house cooler when down and on generator power. Drowns out the generator noises also. Hope this helps.
I can vouch for the hand crank CoolVue shutters. Very well made and easy to use. Just make sure you roll them up and down several times a year. Mine won't come down due to mud daubers nests in them though I'm thinking it could also be because we had the house leveled last year and they're off level
Sometimes I wonder who I was before the lightning struck and I was no more.

The NAM's CAPE and shear maximizes over SELA tomorrow afternoon. It tries to break up the line as it moves toward SELA (but that's not a good thing) because it then redevelops supercells almost right over the city. Like almost identical to what happened last week.

It sounds like Reed Timmer took notes on the westerly wind, and he's targeting the southern end of the MDT risk area...or perhaps south of it. He says he's targeting "south of the elbow in the upper trough."
Interesting to see if businesses and schools close early again especially W of NOLA?.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this threat supposed to be later in the day than last week's? I wasn't expecting early dismissals, but maybe I missed something.

Hahaha that’d be insane to look out my window and see him on my road! Also, it’s a little concerning that he’s targeting the area I live in.

Not looking forward to tomorrows weather in Reserve. They are predicting 60mph hour winds here before the squall line arrives. I do not like bad weather at night. Praying for everyone that tomorrow’s event won’t be like last weeks.
Have we always had these Spring pants-crapping severe forecasts and I have just not been paying it much focus until this year, or are they starting to get more numerous in general?
I was wondering the same thing. I’m paying attention to the forum much earlier this year. I told someone the other day Louisiana is closed for weather events. The past two years we have had our ass kicked. I don’t wish this on anyone else but we really need a reprieve this year.

Zack Fradella: Yea, Lezak had a paper peer reviewed and published a year or so ago.
Nov 5, 2022 9:03:24 GMT -6
stormydds: Thanks for your response. I felt that is the case. that's too bad. Has there been any peer reviewed papers on the LRC hypothesis?
Nov 4, 2022 14:01:51 GMT -6
Zack Fradella: Not sure, the LRC is something that takes a lot of work to follow and keep up with. It's not as easy as looking at the parameters and making a forecast. This deters many from even giving it a chance. Also, there is some doubt from the weather world.

stormydds: Zack, a friend had a meeting in Lafayette which Rob Perillo spoke.He asked him why the LRC is not used to forecast hurricanes by NOAA.His answer was that Lezak won't share the info.I saw the podcast you and David made with Gary.He seemed open.What gives?

PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Been unblocked. Dylan says that the station took major damage, so no idea when they'll even be able to stream again, or be on the air. Hopefully, they will at least let their employees deal with their own property issues!

PinkFreud - Nola FQ: According to another met on twitter, the kitten was rescued by a producer who's adopting it. Of course that hasn't stopped the angry mob, with torches and pitchforks, who are insisting that it's a lie.

nolachic: Pink - he's probably blocking people he doesn't personally know to keep his cell charged and to get his head straight, and I'm sure he is beyond exhausted.

SKYSUMMIT: I sent him a message yesterday as well, but he hasn't seen it.

PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Oh hell, I meant for that to be a message!
Sept 28, 2022 19:38:19 GMT -6
PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Dylan is taking a beating on Twitter. I just tried to send him a message of support, since we've been following each other for years, and HE BLOCKED ME!!!!!! Somebody who can get to him needs to do so, pronto!!! I'm very worried about him.
