Severe thunderstorm warning now for Jackson County, GA. If this were tomorrow's schedule for me.

East of LaGrange

Well, this event certainly overperformed in the tornado category. Thought this would be a straight line wind event with a few embedded tornadoes, and it ended up being much more of a tornado event, with a couple of pretty long track tornadoes.

Still very strong rotation on the storm in SE Alabama.

 

[Equus]

We're only halfway across the enhanced with the line too, still could have several more tornadoes before the day's over

Extreme west Athens, GA just went under a svr warning.

Storm looks like it might be heading towards Griffin. Have some close family friends there.

Tornado warned supercell well east of the line near Norwood, GA.

Interesting to note, that inbound planes to Atlanta are holding over Selma, AL right now.

 

[Tanner]

Pray for Griffin...3.10 NROT

This is still derived from, if not the original Selma beast.
