Cairo is over 10K population and looks like a direct hit. Might be catastrophic.

100% guarantee shite went down. The nifty tool to show possible debris shows after that nado spooled back up all the stuff falling down.

Tornadoes happen in wintertime, particularly in the South. There's a cold front moving through

Tornado outbreaks can happen anytime of year. Dixie Alley is favored this time of year.

Weird how central and northern Mississippi and Alabama are in a more shaded area than central and north Louisiana. Any reason for that?

Is that the storm chaser that almost got swallowed up in storm surge during that Panama City hurricane last year?

December 26th 2015

That day I drove back home from NOLA to DFW and if I waited about another hour to leave I would have got to watch that nasty bitch cross 30 as I would have been on 635 at the time.

Luckily this is about the closest ive come to one of these and hopefully will ever.

Bossier City. I was in HS.

The amazing thing is some of the tornados were on the ground for 60 miles
