I know she s not listening, actually, I hope she isn t because we all know what happens when you try to fool Mother Nature . Parents, you ll have to explain that one to your kids.
The Storm Prediction Center has put all of South Louisiana in the enhanced risk zone for severe storms today. Enhanced means there is basically a really good chance strong storms will roll through the area. There is a greater than normal risk that those storms could include tornadoes, damaging winds, heavy downpours, and frequent lighting inside and near the forecast area.
