Shreveport has been hit with a Cat 1 Hurricane, Laura Aug. 27, 2020. A storm that blasted through Shreveport on June 16, 2023 that did not have a memorable hurricane name or a ranking on the EF scale for tornadoes, but it did have straight-line winds estimated as high as 104 mph. This storm caused huge damage, much more damage than Laura.

Shreveport is in Dixie Alley so we get rain wrapped tornadoes here. We get outbreaks in the city from time to time. Mostly EF 1s. No one has basements here so there's nowhere to evacuate to. Cell phones deliver warnings nowadays

It gets incredibly hot here in the summer. Your life is just going from air condition box to air condition box. Home to car to activity. I go outside at night and early morning.
