At around 12:15 local time here in New Orleans, SKYWARN was activated on our local repeater. There was no real severe weather or damage at my QTH during the storm, but there was a lot of damage in a few miles east of me. I believe an 18 wheeler was flipped on its side during one of the earlier storms which caused lots of havoc on the interstate. 73 and stay safe! Bryant KG5HVO
Thanks Bryant, if you have any more info, please post it, and same for anyone else in an affected area. de FM
