COVINGTON, LA (WGNO) – Grace Murphy had the day off from school at Archbishop Hannan High School in Covington.
The reason was the stormy weather in Louisiana.
So Grace and her friends headed across the Causeway Bridge for a day of shopping at Lakeside Mall in Metairie.
Grace got jeans! On sale. She’s already wearing them.
And on the way back, she got another unexpected surprise.
She and her friends were on the bridge when they saw not one, not two, but three waterspouts exploding out of Lake Pontchartrain. Grace was in the passenger seat and she did what any high school kid would do.
She snapped a picture of it. And she put it immediately on Snapchat.
WGNO News with a Twist features reporter Wild Bill Wood was in Covington to chat with Grace Murphy about the Snapchat post and the stormy experience on the way home from getting a great pair of new jeans.
