For those who didn't listen to Clower growing up, that a "souped up wildcat". Shoot up in here, one of us has got to have some relief!

Gotta love good, clean humor!

Smith or Smithville?

Smithville was an EF-5 on that super outbreak day but was way to the north of the Tuscaloosa EF-4

I remember when this happened. I was in oxford laying naked in bed with some rich sorority chick who liked me but made me hide my truck in her garage because my MSU stickers, loud pipes, mud tires, whip antennae and tool boxes embarrassed her. She didn’t want anyone to know she liked delta farm boys

I saw the tornado on the news and got up and left to head to yazoo cause i had friends who were in the path. Met up with a friend and got on a four wheeler with 2 chain saws clearing roads so police and rescuers could get up into the hills

It started over north of Eagle Lake above Vicksburg. It moved across Lake George west of Satartia. I remember seeing an old combine that was picked up and thrown into the lake.

As stated above, it is still very evident where it crossed I-55 south of Durant.
