Interestingly enough, that Gainesville storm is occurring in a local maximum of parameters. Effective STP of 1 and VTP of 2, thanks to strong instability and what appears to be just enough SRH.

The storm that came over us in Lowndes County, MS definitely dropped some hail (I got caught in it) as well as strong winds and very heavy rain. I was waiting in line to pick up my kiddo from school and got pics of the greenish glow in the sky before it started.

Didn’t get a picture, but I had some nice clouds moving in my part of central AL - had to race between getting steaks done on the grill and the line moving in. Still getting steady rain, but nonetheless wasn’t a bad storm passing through.
 
Just got finished going thru GoPro footage from 3 rounds of storms today. Whew
