bullets13 Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 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. thetragichippy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

bullets13 Posted October 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 My coworker's husband is an EMT and they've all been dispatched to the area for a "multi-casualty" event. Hoping that those casualties are only injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It touched back down before it crossed I-10 and 62 and headed for Deweyville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I ignore it when it's that low, after this morning I will not be doing that anymore. thetragichippy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just glad to not hear of any deaths, just some injuries. 🙏🏾🙌🏾 bullets13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
