    Inside the Tishomingo tornado

    Excerpt from my live stream from Tuesday's chase. If a mod wants to properly embed the video please feel free. I've yet to be able to get it to work on my phone, but then I'm one of those whose electronics all blink 12:00.

    It really hit the town hard. I don't think anyone died which is amazing when you see the damage.

    Has the NWS rated the storm yet?

    Hard to imagine winds that low totally destroying that Dollar General. Looks like it had a steel structure too - should be stronger than that.

    I'm with you. I was fully expecting it to be an EF-2. My guess is that it blew out the front glass front and it allowed winds to get in and lift the roof causing the front wall to fail. Sending you a PM.

    You sound like you have more than 2 pair.

    Congratulations.

    Well I guess more than one pair would require a drawer.

    And why is one set of drawers called a pair....and why is it plural? (Hey...no sports)

    The Jonesboro tornado was rated as a low-end EF-3 with max wind speeds of 140 mph.

    The Tishomingo was an EF-1 at 110 mph.

    I'd like to know how they differentiate between 110 and 111 mph, which would have made it an EF-2. Anybody know how they supposedly have it down to that granularity?

    Because there are two leg holes?

    I've heard people (I suppose trying to sound sophisticated) say "this pant" instead of "these pants" when referring to a pair of pants. Heard that when I mistakenly tuned in to QVC one time.

    One last shameless plug for my team's new website. There is a free side and a paid side, but if you like the discussions I do on here for severe weather then I think you'd find the paid side more than worth the small charge for it. We're just trying to make a little coin to help offset the costs of being crazy.
