Canton is the flea markets.

I hope they blocked I-20 traffic. The tornado is about to cross it.

If it hits the awnings and so forth at First Monday, and there's people present... watch out.

They have had plenty of warning, though. It's been booming here for over an hour.

I've watched the videos - not remotely close to a mile wide.

No.

It hit a car dealer on the wills point highway. It's at the four-way stop of 19 and 80 right now.
