Louisiana Weather: Storms
Is Meteorology - Climatology a popular subject of study in Louisiana? Who are some of the most known atmospheric sciences people from Louisiana?
In Louisiana which natural occurrence happens the most often: storms, flooding, earthquake, blizzards, drought, heat or cold wave, and so forth?
The state usually gets storms and tornadoes, and just recently they had the two as well. Because of this, a lot of flooding occurs and all the chaos claimed 2 people's lives last Thursday!
