It looks like the storms coming out of Louisiana and into S. Mississippi are less singular in nature. They might still spin up but I look at that as a positive. Looks like the worst of the worst will be to the east of Hattiesburg.

I've never seen anything that tops the apocalyptic statements they put out the day we had that huge outbreak which ended up destroying Smithville and I think parts of Yazoo City.Quote:

I think Poplarville and Piacyune will be the next target in MS.
