New Tornado Watch for Western parts of Alabama and Eastern Mississippi.

The storm near bay spring Mississippi once it gets done with the cell mergers may take off. Big mesocyclone on it

Nice, so Cullman County is not in either watch. Maybe an oversight?

You make a good point. The Rome/Ringgold and the Newnan tornadoes both started in AL. And I did not know about the EF4s prior top 2011 (lol). And your comment about north and south GA rings a bell. The most violent tornadoes are up by North Atlanta, or down by the Albany area. Very interesting.

The only (official) violent tornadoes in Georgia south of the fall line were the 1957 F4 that hit Robins AFB and the 2008 EF4 that hit Darien. The Darien one is especially weird because that's right along the Atlantic coast, way outside the typical corridor for violent tornadoes in Georgia (which basically runs along and north of the fall line from Columbus to Macon to Augusta.

EDIT: I guess I memory-holed the Pembroke tornado from last year...

Lol I always found it weird that there in the Huntsville jurisdiction.

I noticed that too. Has got to be an oversight

I think they are in it now.

 

[Chris3024]

Yep, looks like watch was amended to add it in

Yeah, the post replied to had me interested lol so I checked on torarchive (First Image) If we are talking about strictly EF4s, then its the second image: (+ the one in April 2022) - Though pretty sure at least one of these didn't actually produce EF4 damage in the state of Georgia itself.

Just at quick glance, only the Newnan (2021) and Catoosa Co. (2011) produced EF-4 damage in Georgia. The other three appear to be the Ohatchee (2011), Flat Rock (2011) and Beauregard (2019) tornadoes. If I'm not mistaken, all three produced EF-3 damage in Georgia. I forgot about the Bryan County EF-4, but I don't deal with that area. Out of sight, out of mind.

Looks like we got a circulation north of Goss, MS. It looks like it could track unfomfortably close to Bassfield (because of course...).

Yeah, you are right about those two, but there is also that sneaky EF4 in SE Georgia there and the Georgia tornado last year, so I think that is 4 in total there.

 

[Austin Dawg]

That area has some possible rotating storms starting to form. Calhoun City is one.

 

[Thanksgivingbrown]

Brad Arnold’s stream clearly showing rotation

 

[SmokeEater]

Damage reported with that N MS tornado.
