New Meso going right south of Prentiss. That should take over and produce again.

I hope it falls apart completely because the timing is not great for Laurel.

What’s the criteria for a tor emergency? Simply a confirmed in the ground tornado?

Seems like that term is used a lot more lately

Usually a confirmed tornado moving directly into a town/city.

The front has pretty much caught up to that storm. The whole structure has changed, and hopefully that signals the end of its tornadic life. Still some rotation, but it is broad.

Yea it definitely seems that southern and central MS is the new tornado alley. We drive right trough the path of that F4 that hit between Hatty and Mt. Olive, It is crazy to see a mile wide swath that is still destroyed.

If there’s a tornado in Mississippi, chances are it’s gonna hit Bassfield no matter where it’s at.

Place turned into a damn magnet for tornados probably around 2010 is when I remember the first major one. I’m sure there are more before that, but since around that time it seems like once a year at least.

Is the damage in populated areas? I’m trying to see if there is a need for Here to Serve to setup and help.

I don’t know anyone from down that way, but I’d try getting ahold of EMS or Fire Dept, somebody like that.
