Thanks, my daughter, her husband and my twin grandsons live in Vicksburg, where I originally from. I talked to my daughter shortly after the news broke about the tornado. Everybody is okay.Quote:

They're reporting damage in Flora, which apparently is in Madison County, so that must have been this storm.Quote:

Shits hitting the fan here. Got the fam in a closet and I’m outside listening for a Nader. Dogs going nuts.
I’m in Williamsburg. WDAM dude just said it would be here at 9:25. We sheltered in our safest spot with helmets. Fun stuff.Quote:

Where are you Cooter?Quote:

Edit: looks like it was just extended northward to the Tennessee line.
Radar shows mixed winds near mathiston / maben with a large hail core just behind it.
There must be a lot of hail in these storms. A rogue storm went west of Huntsville/Decatur that had reported tennis ball size hail.Quote:

VERY much. that was to be the biggest danger to this system besides strong surface winds. especially for your area (slight)Quote:

The storm west of Collins is still kicking up. Might be intensifying according to TWC.
TWC is showing a decent debris signature at 9:30. Due south of Mantee.Quote:

It got pretty rough but no tornado that I’m aware of. We just climbed out from our “safe room”.Quote:

About 15 minutes to Starkville. 10:18 ETA
Just missed me. I could smell the pine trees from either breaking or hail hitting them. Rough stuff.
Starkville storm is big
Yes, appears that way. May have weakened but hard to tell.Quote:

Daughter is camped out in Hilbun with the other met majors - just texted me that the debris signature is at 10,000 feet and not looking good
ETA - they have all moved to the basement of Hilbun
classic sign of tornado. CoC behind the storm very low showing debris in air.
Debris is getting closer to Starkville, but TWC says it appears to have weakened. Looks like it's getting into a populated area though on the SW fringes of Starkville.Quote:
