Corrine Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Fingers crossed that all is well and he is merely impacted by the reported (obvious) power outages. Quote Entergy New Orleans reported power outages throughout the affected neighborhoods and advised its crews were still assessing damage into Tuesday night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Hope Josh is safe and sound somewhere. Blimey the USA is definitely a dangerous place to live. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 Well, he's posted here since I posted this, but I guess he hasn't seen this yet. I'm curious to hear how his evening went that night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live about 10 miles west of where the tornado hit and we had less than 1/2 inch of rain and the winds never exceeded 20mph. There are a lot more people who die from gang violence in New Orleans than ever do from the weather. I'm 82 yrs old and this is the first tornado, not from a hurricane, that I can recall hitting the area. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

securitybreach Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I'm good. It barely rained at my house but the wind was strong. One of my coworker's lives in Arabi and a tornado was like half a block away from his house. He showed me the video earlier at work: https://www.weareiowa.com/article/news/nation-world/large-extremely-dangerous-tornado-arabi/289-a2dbc200-026c-4b93-bdaa-16192e25a377 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well since I grew up in Alabama, I grew up having to go to basements because chance of tornadoes. Never had one hit where I was at but I have seen entire neighborhoods demolished from them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cluttermagnet Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Glad you are OK, Josh. You folks have different hazards than we do here. But we have 'em too. Just not allowed to talk about ours... Oh, we do get occasional twisters around here, too. Generally to the south of where I live. They tend to have a NE track and head out to sea.

securitybreach Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Well here in New Orleans we get hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, random shootouts, car jackings, hail storms, lightening strikes, etc. When it rains here, it dumps water not just regular rain. The humidity gets so high in the summer, that it causes some wild storms. 80-90% humidity in the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrat Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Good you're safe Josh. You guys have some scary weather over there. All this makes me feel blessed to live in Melbourne AU. We don't get tornadoes, cyclones (regional name for hurricanes), floods (much) or fires (much). Or snow! Gets a little windy sometimes; 100km/h wind is a major storm here. Weather forecast today is a pleasant 26°C with light winds. Swimming in outdoor pool weather. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but there are so many animals and insects there that are very deadly. Plus Kangaroos are very vicious and will box you and then slaughter you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And rattlesnakes and alligators... oh wait... 1 hour ago, crp said: Kangaroos aren't vegetarian? (or am i missing the joke?) Yeah they are vegetarian. A small number of deaths are caused by cars hitting kangaroos and I believe one person was killed directly in 1930 by a kick to the stomach while trying to stop dogs attacking a kangaroo. The most dangerous animals here are horses, cattle, and dogs. - Here are the animals REALLY most likely to kill you in Australia 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
