Thanks for posting these weather threads everyone. I was just going to ship a time critical shipment via Fed Ex today and was able to stop packing the shipment in time. Thanks. Stay safe.
Two amazing tornadic supercells on the Memphis radar - you’ll rarely see something like this.

Local weather clocked the stormfront at 65mph forward
speed,,,penny size hail,,,some rotation,,,
Hard to believe, what with the fatalities and the imminent danger for many others, but I wouldn't take it personally if I were you. Maybe the mods are rooting for Huckabee tonight, and they are a little cranky.
There are like 5 other threads about it on FR now, and I doubt they will put them all in chat.
That’s NW Louisiana...
Perhaps it could get into breaking with a “Muslims and Illegal Immigrants Cause Major Mississippi Valley Tornado Outbreak.”
Are there any indications that you will be having tornadoes there, CM?
Jackson hit!
Union university dorm damage roof torn off students in bathrooms tornado still headed NE at 55mph.
5 other threads? I don’t see them listed. Where are they? I’d like to get more info. Thanks.
Oh, no!....hate to hear that. Hope no serious injuries.
Tornado spotted near Selmer 2.5” hail.
So far no,,,that cell was moving NW at 65mph so it is
nearly in the eastern part of the state,,,Miss. will be
next...
Cells appear to be moderating slightly as move east.
That’s good. Likely, that’s the last thing YOU need to be dealing with!!
Prayers up though for the folks who are getting hit tonight...
Thanks!
