That must feel kind of alone and eerie.

I'm about to have a panic attack, actually. I am terrified of tornadoes.

Where is a tornado on the ground??

You've got this. Feel free to PM me if you need a phone buddy. Hopefully this storm moves through fast.

 

[WesL]

Where is a tornado on the ground??

Marker is located right on the AL/MS state line near Allsboro. No matter where the tornado is, the winds are going to be extreme. So make sure you are away from glass windows.

 

[Weatherphreak]

Probably 25 minutes out from Florence if it holds together that long

 

[Kory]

Columbia, MS, about to take a tornado head on.

 

[MichelleH]

Alex Puckett (WHNT-19) just said confirmed TOG approaching Lauderdale Co. Will cross US-72 near Cherokee.

 

[Kory]

Signature looks to be broadening on the Shoals comma head per GWX. Some good news.

 

[Weatherphreak]

whether a tornado or not there is going to be some high wind as it comes through.

 

[bwalk]

Hopefully, the Alabama cell will go NE of Florence by a little.

 

[SilentShadow87]

For whatever it's worth the hook on the Columbia area storm looks pretty weak.

 

[WesL]

Columbia, MS, about to take a tornado head on.

Per SKYWARN/Ham Radio- Confirmed on the ground near Foxworth, MS @ 4:44pm central

 

[TornadoFan]

For whatever it's worth the hook on the Columbia area storm looks pretty weak.

Now they just issued a PDS warning on it.

 

[Equus]

Might be a CC drop developing there, would be close enough to warrant TORE if that intensifies because it's headed right for town

 

[bwalk]

Signature looks to be broadening on the Shoals comma head per GWX. Some good news.

It may be my radar & radar location but I am just not seeing tight circulation with the Shoals storm. Things could change in a moment but things look a little diffuse at the moment to me (4:47 p cst).

 

[Kory]

For whatever it's worth the hook on the Columbia area storm looks pretty weak.

Huh?! Massive TDS.

 

[Equus]

Whoa BIG TDS now from KLIX

 

[SilentShadow87]

Huh?! Massive TDS.

Well, I'm an idiot. I just realized I was actually looking at the wrong storm. My bad.
