Severe WX December 10 & 11, 2021 Severe Threat

Severe T-Storm warning issued for Shelby County in TN and Desoto County in MS. Storms are starting to enter the Memphis Metro after being relatively spared up until this point.
 
Rotation will be VERY close to LVX radar site if this track is maintained.

Edit: Cottage Grove will also approach HPX site.
 
I dread seeing footage from Mayfield, KY tomorrow.

 
WEHT apparently experienced some kind of (non-weather-related) power outage. Live stream remains working.
 
If this has been a continuous track through KY could this be a contender for the longest tracked tornado in recorded history?
 
Cottage Grove cell is really starting to take on a more classic supercellular appearance on radar and will almost certainly keep producing tornadoes for a while. This event is far from over.

It's been over 230 miles from where the tornado originally formed northeast of Jonesboro, AR, but it almost certainly lifted back in Tennessee and then reformed in Kentucky. It may have been continuous from that point though, which would be like 140 miles.

Had this event occurred before modern records began I am 100% positive it would have been classified as one continuous tornado.
 
Cottage Grove signature from earlier, we are going to have many very significant damage paths, some lost in the shadow of the lead cell

Can't believe it is still this intense after this long, so far east, without many hiccups. Historic event.

If it's possible to talk of silver linings right now, this isn't 1925, fortunately, and researchers now have lots of data on such a long-track tornado. It's some consolation anyway.

If this storm was not out there and never started we would have been covering the other storms because there have been plenty of them. But even my novice wifey realizes this is a rare event and deserves much of our attention
