DUers in Texas/ Louisiana affected by the storms, flashflooding & Tornado warnings/watch - You OK? [View all]

We had a tornado warning around 3 PM CST. Now under severe t'storm warnings/ tornado watch until 5:30/9 PM. Lots of rain! Haven't gone out to check my area. I'm in for the night.

Still t'storming here. Still rumbling and lightning. (Vernon Parish)

Hope everyone in the affected areas are OK.
