Three people died in Mississippi and I believe two in Arkansas, I think Holly Springs, MS caught it the worst and I know Batesville and Como, MS got a bunch of damage also.

I have grown up loving severe weather while also treating it with the respect it deserves, being from north Missisippi all my life nothing was more terrifying to see than today. I know 24 years isn't a long time to be here for a lot of ppl and I get that but to me this is the worst severe weather day for my local region in my lifetime

My jaw literally dropped when I saw the debris field on the tornado that went through Holly Springs, seen plenty of debris fields on radar but not around here. So far it sounds like only 3 or so lives were lost here, which with seeing that speed and rain wrap and size anything less than 10 is an absolute miracle, I am amazed with. A credit to all of the MET services across this state and really everywhere as from what I've seen they all try to work together is due

Sorry for being long winded and somewhat dramatic but I just needed to get that all out, unfortunately I know for a fact there are a lot of ppl here right now who don't realize just how close this was to being so, sooooo much worse

This morning I looked to see how close we were to breaking a record on days without a Tornado Fatality. We were at 212. Just 7 to go.

I'd hoped we'd make it. I'm sorry that we didn't.

Guess the tornado figured that was the best place to rub one out
