Local Tornado

This one hit pretty hard.  It started in the marsh near Taylor's Landing, ended up doing some damage in Port Acres and Port Arthur.  It continued on and it looks like it did some serious damage in Orange, Mauriceville, and Deweyville.  I've seen some videos, and this isn't our usual EF-0 that touches down for a mile and knocks a few trees down and maybe tips a mobile home.  This thing was blowing stuff up.  Has anyone seen damage up close?

Twister went up before it got to PA thankgoodness. Alot of heavy wind though. But Orange County and southern Newton County got it pretty bad. Confirmed twister going thru that area. 

I think it's the same twister, just kinda jumped you guys and touched back down.  Either that or the same supercell produced a second twister.  I heard about a security guard in a guard shack in PA getting hurt when the storm knocked it over.

Yeah it was the same cell. It touched back down before it crossed I-10 and 62 and headed for Deweyville.

Crazy thing about all this: apparently we only had a 5-10% chance of a twister today. Usually I ignore it when it's that low, after this morning I will not be doing that anymore.

You could tell by looking at it that it wasn’t one of our normal setx tornados that spins the clouds and blows over a few trash cans 

That was the kind of twister that normally spins up in Louisiana when storms are strong to severe here then kick up another notch after it crosses the Sabine. Just glad to not hear of any deaths, just some injuries. 🙏🏾🙌🏾

    • Still, from what little I saw, it should have been a much closer game.  WOS was missing some fundamentals on defense, and a lack of imaginative play calling on offense.  Just my opinion as an objective observer on Texan Live, which was horrible btw, but that's another story. 
    • Either way,one game lead in the series. I rely to much on word of mouth 
    • West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?
    • Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.  
    • The baseball coach has a ton of experience at high school and college level and hasn’t done anything for I think around 7 years now,it’s just something that the higher ups live with.And there has been talent come through that he hasn’t done anything with!
