Yes, it is possible for tornadoes to occur in Baton Rouge. While not as common as in other parts of the country known as "Tornado Alley," tornadoes can still form in Louisiana, including in the Baton Rouge area, especially during severe weather outbreaks or tropical systems. Residents should stay informed about severe weather alerts and have a plan in place in case a tornado warning is issued.
Mobile, Alabama is considered the rainiest city in America, receiving an average of 67 inches of rain annually. Other cities known for high rainfall totals include New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Miami.
Swamp vapor, or swamp gas, is methane gas. The methane gas is formed when the organic material in a swamp decays in the absence of air.
Some of the rainiest cities in the US include Mobile, Alabama; New Orleans, Louisiana; Pensacola, Florida; West Palm Beach, Florida; and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. These cities receive high annual rainfall due to their proximity to bodies of water and prevailing weather patterns.
