Two areas of rotation on it now. Wtf.

Glad the met is trying to give longer-lead time path graphics realizing that he could get knocked off air again.

Laubhan is really good, IMO.

Matt Laubhan is a champ. Easily one of the best on-camera meteorologists.

 

[TornadoFan]

Ummm.

This has been cycling rather quickly, hard to know if it's had one tornado down that's been fluctuating in intensity or several short tracked tornadoes in quick succession. Either way definitely a bad situation in Tupelo

Yes, he’s our “Spann”. If I can’t have James Spann, he’s a great next local meteorologist.

How close is this to the 4/28/14 path? What about the 1936 one?

Power outages and damage already being reported in north Tupelo

At some point I'll have to take a look, did he do a retrospective on the MS side of 4/27/11 the way Spann/ABC 33/40 did for the event in AL?

Anything specifically damaged?

 

[TornadoFan]

It's on the ground again.

He had only been here about a month before 4/27. What a welcome to Mississippi/Alabama weather!

 

[TH2002]

Anything specifically damaged?

Don't know the nature of the damage yet.

 

[TH2002]

TWO debris signatures??

 

[TornadoFan]

Significant damage reported around the Elvis museum.

Law Enforcement also just reported damage to Elvis Presley Museum area.

 

[StormStalker]

That's heading this general direction. Not good. Fred Gossage is live on Tennessee Valley Weather facebook page.

 

[TH2002]

Debris ball is back again

 

[TornadoFan]

The velocity looks odd.
