Here's a live cam in Cordele (near the tornado).

 

[OHWX97]

Unbelievable footage from Vince Waelti. That’s a very intense tornado.

 

[cincywx]

cells south and west of this one appear to want to rotate

 

[warneagle]

Hoping this will track a bit north and split the difference between Cordele and Vienna.

 

[TornadoFan]

PDS warned now.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Keep in mind JGX is hitting this storm at about 5,000' up, so that's substantial debris lofting.

New MCD for north Alabama and middle Tennessee, 40% chance of a watch:

Storm Prediction Center Mesoscale Discussion 424

Severe weather, tornado, thunderstorm, fire weather, storm report, tornado watch, severe thunderstorm watch, mesoscale discussion, convective outlook products from the Storm Prediction Center.

Just got home from the doctor and called my mom and told her she was right on the bottom edge of that discussion area and told her it might be one of those days like when I was a kid we watched big storms pop up overhead and then move into Alabama.

Couple snips I got from the stream for those of you who were unable to watch. Very strong motion on this.

cells south and west of this one appear to want to rotate

Storm south of it may eventually merge and interrupt the tornado, will be interesting to watch

 

[Equus]

Amazing footage, also very dangerous situation for Cordele area

 

[Taylor Campbell]

Watch the storm behind that one over Smithville, GA.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Stream has a good visual again, condensation funnel appears to have lifted for the time being, still mothership meso with big wall cloud.

 

[warneagle]

New warning just popped right along the GA-FL line.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Pointy funnel dropping down again.

 

[TH2002]

It's trying to produce again.

Here's a live cam in Cordele (near the tornado).

Thanks for posting that cam. I was going to do the same, but I forgot about it watching Vince's livestream.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

I can see part of the wall cloud on the railcam. Has audio with rain and thunder.

 

[warneagle]

There may be some broad rotation developing on that cell north of Warner Robins. Not impressive on reflectivity but one to watch for the future. It's probably right over the Macon airport right now, but if it keeps moving east it'll be moving into mostly unpopulated areas of Twiggs County.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Cordele sup is killing the smaller cell that was trying to crash into it from the south. Sometimes in my observations these kind of mergers can trigger a new round of tornadogenesis.

*Edit: Tornado warning allowed to expire. Then again, it's FFC...

With the really marginal shear present (mesoanalysis suggesting just 100-150 m2s2 in much of the main risk area) it may come down to mesoscale features to produce tornadoes; strong mesocyclones may struggle to get going, though large hail is probably gonna be an issue. Those storms just have the look of big hail droppers with major instability and steep midlevel lapse rates.
