It has since weakened but for a couple of scans it had a monster debris ball and debris was being lofted to 20,000'. That's a strong tornado. As a comparison, the Louisville EF-4 lofted debris 25,000'.

I honestly don't know. This storm has done way more than I thought it would ever do. I thought it would be confined much further south and even the current SPC outlook is saying that. I'm hoping those two rogue supercells that have been responsible for the tornado warnings are starting to be ingested into the main line. That will reduce the tornado threat so long as new ones don't develop. I need to be asleep but can't quit watching these storms. If they maintain intensity as they get closer then I'll ease into the truck and go take a look.
Time for the live streaming chasers on youtube.
Looks like we're in the shooting gallery down here again!
Looks like a PDS is about to be issued for the southern half of the state. Many super cells ate ramping up.
Amazing amount of hook echoes forming
You really are then, because they are on 533 just north of Shady Grove-Moss Rd. You have more than your share of sketchy weather down there. Seems like every time I turn around, I am watching the radar in your part of the world. Hoping it winds down, for a while, after this.
PDS warning for Jasper and Newton counties
I can't win for losing with all this weather stuff. Spent several years on the coast running from hurricanes. Moved away but my Dad stayed on the water in Bay St Louis until he passed in 2017. Even rebuilt after Katrina. Then I spent the rest of my life in Covington county on Hwy 84 dodging tornadoes. Finally got out of there, only to leave daughter, son in law, and granddaughter at my old place. My new home is northeast of Nashville on Old Hickory lake, Cumberland river. You know what'll happen next. Another damn flood I'm sure.
Heads up Hattiesburg Petal. Warned storm going into Purvis
Covington county lookout!! Just talked to daughter. Warning happening now.
That area gets hammered every single time. Collins to Raleigh to laurel is about as much of a tornado alley as there can be.
Wow. This has turned out to be an unreal tornado day.
Ovett - Johnson in Jones Co has one on the ground
Just flipped to the Weather Channel. Things are really popping in south Mississippi - tornado heading for Meridian at the moment.
Feels like I'm playing weather Russian roulette today. Geez
