We've got an "enhanced severe threat" of whatever this is happening today. Everybody is freaking out a lot. All the schools in Jefferson are closed. All the charters schools in Orleans are calling the police.
In the past few years, weatherpersons have begun using an incomprehensible "risk" scale to describe thunderstorms, basically. I don't know if it helps anybody. It's nice if you get the afternoon off of school/work in order to "be aware" or hunker down or something. But mostly what it has done is get everybody to pay Hurricane Season level attention to the weather forecast at odd times. And that's probably the main point.
