Well.... hopefully today isn’t an indication of how the next two days will go.

Back to radar-indicated... hoping it stays that way.

EDIT: I jinxed it...

New PDS warning.

Keep an eye on the southern part of the cell; there's a noticeable kink in the velocity signature near Mantachie.

Also might be some rotational action in the cell near Webb and Glendora, both towns in western Mississippi. Unfortunately there's not really a radar in any close range to properly assess the rotation at the lower levels.

"Apartment roof collapse" reported in central Tupelo.

NWS still calling this a large and extremely dangerous tornado in their 10:36pm CT update to the warning.

It’s headed straight for our hunting land is SW Colbert county. Have friends taking shelter in Tishomingo

People are slamming The Weather Channel for showing reality junk during the Tupelo tornado while WeatherNation covered it.

It is cycling back up.

I totally agree! People need to give them some grief for this. Disgusting at the climate crap and movies they run down our throat's and not show REAL WEATHER.

I guess that person deleted his tweet. There are plenty of other people weighting in though.

Looks like it at least got switched over for cable users in the Tupelo/Columbus area while it was about to and moving through. Not sure if local TWC coverage is still on it, and unsure if local satellite subscribers saw the coverage.

First damage pics coming in from Tupelo. I'm afraid first light tomorrow morning will be bad.

 

[Equus]

TWC does ok with big regional outbreaks and tropical systems but for smaller events their stupid and pointless reality show lineup definitely takes precedence. Rather annoying.

Tomnolen, MS tornado

Insane close range intercept of the Yazoo City, MS tornado today.

You can see whole trees lofted high into the air, kind of like what we saw with the video of the Brent/Centreville from @Matt Grantham
