PDS Tornado watch just issued for Northern Mississippi:

Well, it’s also ratings....
To be blunt, there are tens of millions of dumpy (no offense, ladies, but overwhelmingly) women in this country sitting on their couches who have zero interest in these tornadoes and INFINITE interest in the royal wedding.
Prayers for all
Lots of rumors...none of them good.
This is a nightmare.
Thanks for the Ringgold information. My friends live a little south of Ringgold and are OK. The word is that the Ringgold interchange on I-75 is devastated. I don’t know which interchange it is - Battlefield Parkway or Alabama Highway. Both lead to “downtown” Ringgold.
53 fatalities in Alabama so far but no reports for some hit areas.
Prayers up.
I was in a similar storm in upstate New York years ago...the lightning was flashing constantly (people claimed such a thing wasn't possible). Sure enough; dawn revealed a tornado had struck the area about ten miles to our south. What a wild night that was...I'll never forget the lightning...constant.
Storm still 20 min away. Thank god the one headed for us isn’t tornadic.
WSFA-12 in Montgomery just showed ambulances and other emergency vehicles heading north to Tuscaloosa.
Tennessee: 4/27/11 - TN - 1046 PM EDT - TORNADO WARNING FOR... CLAIBORNE COUNTY,GRAINGER COUNTY, HAMBLEN COUNTY, HANCOCK... http://fb.me/vB6AAwi0
Ah, geeze.....
yes, you’re pretty much right about the coverage being all Trump/wedding/Obama scolding.
Greta mentioned it briefly.
Weather Channel guy says he’s more concerned about a tornado in the DC area now than he was an hour ago.
Think that might get some news media coverage???
I hope that isn’t an indicator that the tweets about Tuscaloosa are true...
What’s the best twitter url? I’ve had an easier time with the middle east twitters than finding tweets on this tonight.
President has declared Alabama an emergency and is sending in FEMA-per WSFA in Montgomery.
Amen. Keep a low profile. Prayers for all affected by this storm. Tragic.
I do not envy the first responders tonight. I’m back on shift at 0 dark thirty, so I’m off to sandland. G’night and take care.
I added Florida to the topics, since it is supposed to be here tomorrow.
I don’t either bro. It’s Armegeddon out there. Night and stay safe.
Gov Deal has declared Catoosa, Floyd? and Walker? Counties disaster areas.
Might have the last 2 wrong.
Yeah- if it gets to DC then they’ll break into recorded programs for omg holy cr@p live coverage.
