The storm that passed through midway and now is at Lovelady looks to be breaking out now, it's away from the rest of the storms and going into an area full of energy.

You have more up to date information than I have. TWC now saying injuries in Franklin, plus there are 3 warnings in Texas, one where I-45 goes north at Madisonville.

Yes that's one of the things that changed with the EF scale. Here's what the new information looks like that is used now. This is done by the SPC:

Including tree damage was a good thing. Before, if it was only tree damage, technically there wasn't even a tornado at all.

Tornado warning... About to hit Vicksburg.

Hey Vegasdog, I was watching your "livestream" and was hoping you stayed around Vicksbug instead of heading to Shreve.

Damage to a UPS store and a Kroger according to NWSJackson twitter

He posted it here a while back. He's Stan Dorrah on Twitter, @nmscas

I don't know where Vegas is, but he's driving in some pretty heavy rain and there was just a big lightning bolt straight in front of him. The video isn't very good, and I can only hear voices in the background, can't understand what they're saying.

Thanks!

Vicksburg got hit right up the I-20 corridor. As of now I don't know of anyone hurt but LOTS. of property damage. If you know anyone in Vicksburg, this might be a good tone to pick up the phone...

tornado warning down south. just nw of tylertown.

Tornado warning now just west of Starkville, heading toward French Camp.

Scooba, TWC said the storm in Franklin, TX killed two children. Sad ....

Radarscope shows one north of Louisville headed for French Camp.
