Severe WX Severe Weather Threat 3/14-3/16

What's NWS Jackson's policy on tornado emergencies? There's gotta be a population minimum or something because they're being extremely conservative with these warnings.
Not sure if they do have a specific policy; they issued a TORE for a very rural area earlier.

If the weather radar I was working with only updated every six to eight minutes, I'd be struggling to issue warnings too.

(I'm sorry, I had to mention how much their radar sucks. Not only does it make it incredibly frustrating to follow the storms from a weather enthusiast's POV, but it's also incredibly dangerous for the people who rely on timely warning dissemination.)
