TUPELO, Miss. - An apparent tornado in Tupelo, Miss., damaged a shopping mall and downed power lines on Thursday morning.
There weren’t any reported injuries from the storm, although authorities were getting reports of fallen trees and debris across the area. Officials were dispatched to check out the damage.
Officers spotted a possible tornado moving in and out of the clouds, the Lee County sheriff’s office said. Weather officials will have to confirm that the storm was a twister.
I always hate when they say a “storm” or a “storm system” WAS a tornado.
It wasn’t a storm that was a tornado.
It was a storm that SPAWNED a tornado.
Big diff...... The tornado and storm itself are not the same thing. A tornado just comes from the storm sometimes, but not often.
