Jolly needs to take cover

I just came home from going to town. What I saw rolling in was so black and massive I can't even begin to imagine what this looked like in Louisiana. I've never seen anything like it.
The most intense glob of the storm, from Atlanta to Long Island, went directly over us last night at 4 AM. The lightning was everywhere and did. Not. Stop. Shit was getting struck all around us and the rain was so intense, older trees just gave up and fell. So much rain was hitting the roof it just slid right past the gutters and came down in ribbons.
And yeah, that was just a storm, not a hurricane.
I tried to go out on the front walk and get a picture but something in our neighborhood got struck and I decided against it.

Friend of mine in South Louisiana who has weathered several hurricanes, said the wind in this storm was a first for him - over 60mph winds at his house for over 6 hours.

Yeah, woke me up for a bit but the sound of the rain on the skylights knocked me right back out. It’s been strange since then. We’re supposed to be deluged with rain, but it’s been dry since 7AM…

We were just issued a Tornado Watch…
