National Weather Service

Lightning myths can be dangerous. As severe weather season nears East Texas, the National Weather Service separates fact from fiction.

Forecasters say the changes might creep in unnoticed at first but when they arrive they could bring pain, suffering, and even loss of life to Louisiana, Texas, and a large portion of the country.

Stay weather aware today.

You may already get some alerts to potential weather issues, but now the National Weather Service is officially expanding the alerts they issue on mobile phones to include “destructive” severe thunderstorm warning.
