* SEVERE WEATHER ALERT * Tornado Outbreak; Severe Storms Likely - South & Ohio Valley

I hope these pass most everyone on by. This is maybe one of the worst Christmas presents I could think of.

And I definitely hope these pass my father-in-law by. He's in the hospital up at Vandy recovering from a bone transplant surgery. This would be the last thing they'd need.

Tornado on the ground moving Noert east to Falcon Ms.

I'm around the Greater Jackson, MS area and it's windy, getting darker and few rumbles of thunder now and then.

Hope it doesn't get worse. Be careful everyone. Looks really bad further north and northern states!

Coahoma County. New Tornado warning Tutwil area.

Another screen cap: It's a monster.

Bad situation on Inter state 55 near sardis Ms trafic at a stand still spotter relaying to 911 to clear road

Yeah, it's getting pretty serious right now...

there is an extensive line of Tornado Warnings...

and it's heading right towards population, and the interstate.

Dear Lord! I hope those folks know to get out and find a ditch. I hope there are ditches to find. I hope it's not so big that finding a ditch would be a moot point.

Tornado just west of Barr Ms on path to Holly Springs Ms.

Clarksdale Tornado

Hey, Everyone - I had to step away for a short time.

But this is still an ongoing situation, and looks to continue well in to tonight.

Multiple Tornado Warnings are still in effect at the moment...

And extensive damage has been reported

Below is one of the many videos of the Clarksdale, MS Tornado

a reply to: iunlimited491

Thank you for the thread!
It is nice to have "real" people updating rather than JUST the weather channel, etc.

The link to the live storm chasers was great!
Unfortunately, I think, I heard a small child was killed tonight.

I think my area is "in the clear" so to speak...all of my loved ones safe...I wish that for everyone too.

South of Nashville looks like there may be something coming.
Our "watch" lasts until 11 pm...no worries, I won't be asleep anyway...
