I hear ya.....I'm more of a severe weather enthusiast as well, been a member of this forum (back when it was eastern weather) since 2007, but don't post as much as most since all my posts are usually during severe weather outbreaks (of which there have hardly been any major since the spring of 2011). Too bad there aren't more severe weather enthusiasts on here, but I enjoy the winter discussions as well. TWC had some video/pics of the New Orleans tornado, looked to be quite strong. - Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 It's starting to hammer here in Tallahassee. Very windy and rainy and we are under a Severe Thundersrorm Warning for up to 70 MPH wind gusts. I hope we don't lose power again like the other week.

It looks a lot like the other images of the Donaldsonville tornado today. It did look familiar ... thanks for the correction.

Hoosier Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 2 hours ago, hurricaneman said: The New Orleans tornado has a preliminary rating of EF 3 So that's the highest rated tornado in Orleans Parish in the modern era. I'd have to dig into the pre-1950 records to see if there's been anything as strong or stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Killian tornado ramped up as it went into the marshes. It would be difficult to access areas to assess damage on those and in many instances not much vegetation to look at. The only "thing" it crossed was the I-55 bridge and concrete tends to fare well in all but the most violent tornadoes. I suspect that tornado may have actually been the equal of the other two. The Killian and Watson tornadoes both passed ~16 and ~12 miles from my home as the crow flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
