I hope I am right looking that these tornados and not seeing cells that could but down more than a 1 or weak 2.



It's pretty dynamic, the Columbus storm could have been a solid 2 for a frame. It quickly lifted and a new tornado dropped a little NE that looked strong for a frame. They're all embedded in that line too.

Pretty messy system, which is for the best as these things go.

Yeah, no breathing room for anything today which is good. May be some damage if a 1 or weak 2 hit just right but nothing I’ve seen today suggested anything other than a few squall spinners.

No reports of any fatalities . They are just now sending emergency people out . Gas leaks , trees down and roof damages is what they are reporting so far. Storm headed off towards Lamar Co. Alabama

I’ve always wondered why the cutoff line for Louisiana is Alexandria. Is there a reason why Southeastern/Southwestern Louisiana is not included?

Look at history:



It's hard to get major instability with the gulf so nearby (generally speaking a big temp differential with height) and when we do, the storms all go up at once and compete for inflow. It's not impossible, of course, just look a couple years ago with the NOLA East tornado. The right set ups just happen more often to our north.
