Crummy radar updates... the main Shreveport storm now appears to be at Springhill. Intellicast seems to be getting faster updates than the NWS.
The Nacogdoches storm seems to be following Texas St Rd. 7, generally toward Shreveport.

The Carthage storm is still tornado-warned until 5:30 local time, and is close to I-20, just west of Greenwood... near Waskom.
