I live in NE Mississippi and this was breaking news from about 11am to 2pm. Three tornado warnings and we are under clear skies now. One funnel skirted my farm and I got to see rain going upwards. Tishomingo and Lowndes Counties near here got slammed. Been a busy day and all I can say to those East of here....Heads up!!

Anyone know where the Virginia Panhandle is?

Is it the part you hang onto when you're frying up some Virginia ham?

It took five minutes for this thread to get pulled from Breaking News.

Complete BS during an ongoing life threatening situation.

My wife returned from working up in the FL panhandle area 24 hours ago, 24 hours earlier that she was supposed to.

I'm going now to show her this thread. She might need to check and see if all is well up there.

Thanks again for posting this. BTTT!!

La Nina; watch for some real hurricanes this year, especially in the southwestern Gulf areas of Florida.

Thunder, lightning and heavy snow now here in Milwaukee along the shore of Lake Michigan.

Four tornadoes in Racine and Kenosha Counties south of here.

Wild Weather!
