Wow, the area just north of Baton Rouge has been under several tornado warnings today. I think with the one now, that is the third tornado warning for Baker, LA.

That was a BEAST on radar

I located that debris signature on Google earth. It looks like it hit Michoud and Read Boulevard West. So so so many houses and buildings in that area. I mean so many!

Suffice to say, I did not expect something like this today!

At least one of the storms west of New Orleans also had an apparent confirmed tornado a bit ago, and I thought I picked up a debris signature briefly. There will be multiple confirmed tornadoes today, and I suspect a couple will have been fairly strong. A little surprising.
