@JPWX is safe in Smithville, He didn't get hit.

 

[Clancy]

Take a look at those hodos.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

This is not good.

Geez lousie

 

[Equus]

Ugh, really was hoping it would move up the Tombigbee and avoid town to the NW; you hate to see it

 

[WesL]

All good here. That other storm is. Monster. Glad @JPWX is okay.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

I'm afraid the damage is going to be heartbreaking. Amory may be worse than rolling fork.

 

[NorthGaWeather]

Tornado appears to have lifted. Likely some damaging winds occurring west of Hamilton.

 

[Clancy]

 

[StormStalker]

Lots of trees and power lines down across the Shoals.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Reports of people trapped in Amory.

 

[Evan]

People trapped in homes in Amory. Listening to the scanner. First responders are continuing to experience extreme difficulty in getting to locations or moving to calls.

Looks like the mergers with that other convection probably choked it off, hopefully for good.

My mother is OK. It went just south of her house. My friend said there are trees down everywhere but it's nothing like he's hearing out of Amory. Sounds like catastrophic damage in Amory trying to find out about my friends and family in Amory

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Amory fire fighters are going on foot, trying to setup a command post at Piggly wiggly multiple streets with entrapments

 

[TH2002]

According to one Amory firefighter he 'doesn't even know where he is' - whatever happened has clearly left the area unrecognizable...

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Another gas leak, many gas leaks reported.

Working on shutting gas off

 

[TH2002]

Any update on New Wren or the Chapel Grove area SE of Okolona? I fear the tornado may have directly hit those areas before it plowed into Amory.
