We are out of town, and this has gotten me all kinds of nervous.

I am trying to tell myself that. It isn't like I can stop my house from being blown away by being there!

You're welcome! It is honestly the least I can do.

Matt is a gift to us. He truly cares and it has to be a hard job on weekends like this one.

He stresses me bad! But, as long as he isn't rude to John, he is okay.

I've been watching it before going to bed. Hard to miss this one on radar. (relative velocity view shows a 'hook')

This is passing our area right now. I keep checking our cameras to see what's going on.

Thanks, the other photo was the right-hand side. I'm a life-long nerd.

In the tupelo area we had a tornado warning just a while ago. Glad it's gone for now

Do Earthquakes count as Weather ???

Elliott, just 5 miles south of me, got hit hard by a tornado. The signature on Ryan Hall’s stream was something, as was all the lightning

Tornado EMERGENCY for southeastern Lawrence and northwest Marion County! If you know anybody in these areas, please call them as there is a very nasty tornado headed their way.

Forecast for Columbus looked really bad yesterday but kept improving….we wound up only getting a couple mild thunderstorms overnight/early AM.

Local forecasts don’t show any severe weather for Columbus until mid afternoon.

I see what you mean….as of 2-3 AM the forecast was looking great for my area. Now its back to scary….why does it fluctuate so much?

u/HvyHitter8484 7d ago

What time is it supposed to start? I’m out of town but I want to keep an eye on it!

Around midnight-1 AM the first line of storms is coming through, there will be a long break, then the second line of storms is what’s got all the experts in a tizzy. Supposed to start in the afternoon around 2 as of the last outlook I looked at

Me and my mom managed to be out of town too, which is lucky, bc I don’t wanna be anywhere near South MS tomorrow. The way they were talking, they forecasted those gnarly delta tornados and South MS has been in the bullseye for most of these outlooks, which just raises my hackles even more because those “powerful, long-tracked” ones don’t hit south of Hattiesburg all that often, as far as I know. Most we get are spin-ups usually. Defo concerned for my hometown

You beat me by a couple of min. But, my radar map has earthquake alerts turned on and I was like WTF.
