bullets13 Posted October 27, 2021 Report 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
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted October 27, 2021 Report 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

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. Quote
bullets13 Posted October 27, 2021 Author Report 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

It touched back down before it crossed I-10 and 62 and headed for Deweyville. Quote

Usually I ignore it when it's that low, after this morning I will not be doing that anymore. thetragichippy 1 Quote

Just glad to not hear of any deaths, just some injuries. 🙏🏾🙌🏾 bullets13 1 Quote
