User blog:AGirlCalledKeranique/Amida wreaks havoc in the South

Hello there! This is Forecaster Keranique, and this post is going to be about Snowcane Amida, currently moving directly east. Amida formed over Texas and moved southeast where it intensified to a snowstorm. Amida then travelled over Louisiana and intensified; later reaching category 1 snowcane status, where it still remains.

Amida's snow is causing havoc on the cities specifically not used to snow; this includes New Orleans, Houston, Mobile, Baton Rouge, Montogomery, Jacksonville, and Tampa notably.

In New Orleans, the snow has become so bad they have issued a city-wide emergency as no one is expected to go out due to the dangerous freezing conditions of Amida; there was a four car pile up in the French Quarter late yesterday which caused seven injuries; two were critically injured and had to be rushed to the hospital; they still remain in critical condition. Many travellers are stranded in New Orleans as the snow continues to rack up; this snow is expected to continue into early tomorrow, just in time to celebrate Christmas. However, families won't be able to get out till afternoon Christmas Eve, which will cause large amounts of congestion within the airports.

We will update this blog post later as reports from the city mayors are continuing to come in, however New Orleans is the only one we know.
