Kyle: you have no idea how loud I shouted “yeah!” when i saw you released another geographic profile, especially on one of my favorite states. Please dude, keep doing what you’re doing. It’s crack to me and folks like me who like to discover as much as possible of each American state, whether I’ve been there or not. And to many of the states I haven’t been, your vids make me feel like I’ve explored the entire state. That is seriously beautiful. I have much to owe to you for that. Keep on rockin’.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬ ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭ God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! 🕊💞

I am not even american. I have never lived in the US. I have only been to east coast states, and apart from Connecticut I have never been in a state for more than a week or two. Yet Louisiana and New Orleans have always been my favorite american state and city for some reason. They have such an interesting history and culture when compared to the rest of the country. It´s kind of sad to see Louisiana loosing its relevancy. If the US had good city planning and invested in large engineering projects New Orleans could easily be America´s largest city.

That Britney Spears image at the end was hilarious. Great video!! Not from there, but I lived just outside New Orleans for awhile. For all of its challenges, I really miss it. I just love towns with their own personality, and New Orleans is probably the biggest example of that in the US.

[@jonnydent825]

Things you could have mentioned about Shreveport/Bossier: - Has the state's oldest college/university in Centenary College of Louisiana which is also the oldest college west of the Mississippi - Despite being in the far corner of the state, it hosts the Louisiana State Fair each year - During Reconstruction, the NW parishes attempted to secede to Texas. And if not for an untimely outbreak of yellow fever, it might have succeeded. - In the early 20th century, many musicians including Elvis got their start on The Louisiana Hayride, a production held by local radio station KWKH.

[@LibbyRal]

So they still have the - is it -Barnwell Art and Garden Center on the river? i loved the year living there - people were so friendly - even more friendly than New Orleans, which is saying a lot. The funniest thing I saw was when they tried to make a section of town like New Orleans and had a cafe that served 'Ben-Yeas'

[@LibbyRal]

@@kitsachie. thanks for the update. I loved my year living in Shreveport. I taught some art classes at the center, and also studied there. I have a painting of the bridge viewed from the classroom, and the far bank reflected in the river. I called it The Red River Turned Green, because it was low and slow that summer, reflecting the trees along the shoreline.

It's also worth mentioning that Shreveport was home of the Louisiana Hayride radio program which broadcast from the beautiful Shreveport Municipal Auditorium from 1948-1960. The Louisiana Hayride helped launch the careers of Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and many others.

Interesting video Kyle. Love the maps. The tornado map showed all the states surrounding WV in double digits but WV only 2.4?? Food: what about Po' boys? They say jazz central in New Orléans is Frenchman street.

[@GeographyKing]

West Virginia is almost entirely mountainous and kinda like how hurricanes need warm water for strength, tornadoes need relatively flat land. The air masses colliding force the air upward in flat topography instead of the topography itself doing it. The collision of the two air masses creates the atmospheric instability and the greater the difference in temperature and pressure between the two, the stronger the thunderstorm or tornado. I cut out part of the food section where I mentioned po' boys and cayenne pepper hot sauces (and a couple of other small bits on the video as well) to get the video under 30 minutes.

Hey Kyle not evensure if I chatted before with u bout this video. We talked about a la vid and u did it. I'll cut to the chase. Your vid had facts, I watched another attempt about us by another channel and it was off so bad about where to live. I think my fav part was you trying to explain how you say new Orleans. You got it real close. We slur the two word. Just a hint, sometimes the twin cities are better but know one knows. Not as much activity but better place to live. We got great food and I'd love to have supper with u. Great job.

WOW. New Orleans looks stunning in the snow. Probably my favorite american city to visit!
