Four years ago, I visited Penn State for the first time for EMEX. It was my first time in front of a green screen and it was so exciting. Today, I got to give studio tours to prospective students as I approach graduation. It’s a very full circle moment for me. Time flies!

Here's a look at all of the tornado warnings today from Beryl for the Shreveport area as of 8:30 pm. Unofficial count is around 67. Unfortunately, we know one person has died as a result of these storms and so many homes were damaged. What a historic day.

Plano/Dallas friends- today you need to be weather aware. SPC issued a moderate risk (4/5) for severe thunderstorms today. Primary concerns are large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes that are expected especially as you move east. Have a safe space prepared and stay alert.

We peaked at 105° today here in Shreveport, but it felt hotter. Tomorrow, the "feels-like" temperature will be on the climb once again. Here's what to expect. Also, we are still under an Excessive Heat Warning so take precautions when outside for extended periods of time. #lawx
