Anchor on WAFB just said “this feels like a hurricane is moving through”

And they wonder why most people treat the weather alerts as hyperbolic bullshite and don’t pay attention

Tree & power lines down on the road on Old Perkins just past Santa Maria on the AP side. Driving through this from BR to Pville just now was pretty shitty.

Checking in from Oak Hills, BR. Heavy, heavy rain, but the wind has not been bad (yet).

Starting to get the “whistling gusts” here in Meraux that I really only hear during topical events

That’s not too far off. For about 5-10 minutes, we were definitely getting tropical storm force winds in my area. Then we got a couple of inches of heavy rain in a few hours.

We have lots of trees down, a couple of them on cars and houses. Branches everywhere including smaller ones on my roof that I can’t get down until the rain stops. There are shingles in my pool that aren’t from my house. A neighbor’s garage door blew out and some fences are down.

But a few miles south of us looks like nothing happened but a small thunderstorm.
