Not sure if we see much further tornadic action today (aside from QLCS spinups) - seems like storms are trending towards a much messier storm type and the main wind + hail action will come from the line marching across the Mississippi River now. There doesn't seem to be an apparent pre-line spot for supercell formation in great numbers, as most are just cannibalizing one another and then getting absorbed into the larger line. Maybe something from the parallelogram of Meridian-Montgomery-Mobile-Mandeville?

I'm seeing lots of spin-ups in Mississippi embedded in the storms firing there but the main line west of Yahzoo is crazy,

Really drives home the value of being weather aware even if you're not a "geek"/passionate about it like many of us posters here. It's one thing when you get a 4/27-type tornado that can annihilate even the sturdiest of shelters, but this was totally preventable with a little awareness/preparation.
