Shit got real here in Collins
That thing by Collins is a freaking monster
Tornado emergency for Jones county.
This storm moving Jones county has a debris signature upwards 15,000 to 20,000 feet.
Another tornado just confirmed right behind the monster that passed through Bassfield. Following almost the first tornado?s path. Absolutely awful.Quote:

The tornado near Collins is going to be bad. Not only are you dealing with an extremely strong tornado, you're dealing with an extremely strong tornado going through a disaster area that was JUST hit by a different strong and violent tornado. This is worst case scenario for severe weather response. Hearing multiple people trapped near Seminary. Y'all stay safe and stay in your 17'n safe places until all of this is gone.
TWC showing two tornadoes, the second going just north of Collins. The first one was just south. So probably 5 miles apart at most.Quote:

I think you’re about right. The first one dropped debris in my yard and the second one had me wearing a helmet and running my ass off into my safe place!!’Quote:

That's way too close for comfort. Nothing here yet but thunderstorms, but warnings SW of Cullman and near Warrior (north of B'ham on 65). There was a debris ball for a while near Jasper.Quote:

Prayers for those caught in those road graders in south MS. The one pictures I saw was surreal. Now to kick back and relax and then figure out what to do with the truck tomorrow.
Is everything over now?
At least two deaths reported in Jefferson Davis County
Correction: 3 deaths confirmed in Jeff-Davis County
Just went back and looked at my video. I'm thinking I may have captured the tornado on the ground when it was snapping power poles. I see what looks like two power flashes at the base of where the tornado would be. I don't think they were lightning. I have a couple other people looking at it to get their opinion.
Any pictures of the super tornado around Collins available yet? Vegas, can you post or link the picture you saw?
Nope got more storms coming in from LA probably going to be tracking south of hattiesburg and north of WigginsQuote:

There are some storms in Arkansas heading east but it may or may not hold together.
Damn that shit was close. Ended up with debris in my yard but it missed me. Got at least two relatives homes. It's bad! Real bad. Collins to Seminary area and SoSo are wiped out. Bassfield was wiped out too. First one was over a mile wide. Second wasn't as bad but but still bad. 17!
