A Covington, Louisiana driver is thankful to be alive after Sunday's storms caused a tree to fall, snap a powerline, then slam down right onto his vehicle while driving. And, it was all captured on his dash cam.
Well, it's June and we are now smack dab in the middle of hurricane season, and for people in Louisiana, that brings chills down their spines. Over the past few years, most Louisiana residents have been affected by at least one hurricane.
The Atlantic Hurricane Season officially begins on June 1st. Once again it appears as if Mother Nature is ahead of the curve. Just as we've experienced in some of the recent previous seasons there is an area of disturbed weather in the tropics that forecasters with the National Hurricane Center are monitoring for development.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released its forecast for the 2023 hurricane season, predicting what they're calling a "near-normal" number of tropical storms.
While early forecasts for the hurricane season suggested the Louisiana and the rest of the Gulf Coast may see a more relaxed hurricane season, a university team that accurately predicted the last two hurricane seasons says 2023 could be anything but.
