Debris signature about to cross I-10

Are those embedded supercells in southern Georgia now or not?
65+ dBZ debris ball on that one E of Tallahassee on I-10, this event just doesn't want to stop.

Looking like they're rapidly becoming discrete cells only slightly embedded in a line. Unreal.

I think SPC made a bit of a mistake dropping down to SLGT at 01Z...

The only other time I can remember this happening (a line breaking into discrete cells) was 8/24/2016, which was a pretty impressive day itself.

Not surprising after seeing that debris signature, sadly..

Luckily, Monticello couplet collapsed right before reaching town, and the debris sig is much broader... no doubt debris is probably falling but the tornado might not be still down

Why is there not a tornado watch out for northeast Florida?
Equus

SPC not gonna extend watches, expects things to become tamer to the east... not sure if I fully buy that given what's happened, but, we'll see

It looks like the northern portion of the line may be starting to weaken.

Death toll is expected to rise to at least 20, WRBL news reporter reports.

And this is without even hearing anything about the tornadoes in south Georgia and north Florida. Last I heard there were no confirmed injuries and deaths in Cairo but there were lots of structures destroyed with entrapments.
Do we have any word on casualties in Talbotton? I suppose I'm the one who should be plugged in to local news in central GA but I haven't seen anything yet. The damage was obviously quite bad so I was really worried.

Wow. This is like three or four miles from my parents' house. I hate that they had to scare all the cats for nothing but I'm glad they took it seriously and went to shelter. They dodged a bullet (thankfully I haven't heard anything about fatalities so far, just one woman with a broken leg)
