Texas/Oklahoma/Louisiana/ Mississippi/Alabama - weather/Tornado reports

That is what I meant to ask.

Thanks for the responses!

Actually yes. I've been on this planet for a long time and have seen a lot. I don't know what to think about anything any more. This world is getting very strange. It's like we are all on the spin cycle and the stop button is broken.



I agree with everything you stated here . . . feel that way, too . . . nothing makes sense . . . not at all the way it used to when we were younger.

Whoa, the quote feature was all mixed up - had to fix it.

Hattiesburg, MS tornado just upgraded to EF-4 with winds of 170 mph via NWS Jackson, MS.

Just a tad early in the year to start up with those bad boys.

These dudes are crazy!!! Flying debris can be deadly !

and the threat will continue today...

Thank you for that incredible video!

I watched the most powerful tornado ever recorded in May of '99, central Oklahoma from about that distance, and no other video has so effectively captured the view as that one you just posted.

Today, huge fluffy snowflakes here in OK, they melt as soon as they land.
