Oh good about Starkville! So many college students there. That could have had some parents and kids in a panic had that been hit too.I am headed to bed soon but please ping me if you hear from any of our Ms. FReepers. I will be sleeping with my prayer candle lite for all in the path of this storm tonight and those already affected by it.
Hoping and praying all will be ok.
Wait, I am NOT saying Starkville is a-okay, just that our friends are,(former neighbors) according to the neighbor across the street, who is already looped. I don’t have any idea about the damage in that area or about Meridian’s either. My husband is a watching a movie and we won’t see the news until 10:00PM.
This system ran through central TX 5-6pm yesterday, and I saw something I’d never seen before. I heard the hail coming, and when it fell it was not round balls of random size, it was coin-shaped discs of random size that melted pretty much on impact.
Never seen that, ever, in decades. Only BBs, dimes, nickels, quarters, half dollars, baseball, softball, etc spherical.
Just making a note... something I’ve never seen.
