Satellite antenna FYI: Maxwell radar (KMXX) is down. Techs have been notified. Restoration time is unknown.

If one Alabama radar site had to be down, that’s the one I would pick. The KBMX, KEOX, and KFFC radars can cover the area of that radar decently.

I'm in Flowood right now. Wind was intense.

Yep. Wind like that doesn't matter if it straight or spinning. Have you seen much damage?

It is just weird that they tweet that today when it was down yesterday on RadarScope.

I almost think Jackson kept/extended that Tornado Warning because the radar was such a mess. And, the wind was a threat regardless as it moved in. Warning was canceled.

No, but I've been in my hotel the whole time and I'm not venturing out just yet.
