Tornado warned cell currently headed into Alexandria LA showing strong rotation. The storms are remaining isolated enhancing the threat for more strong cells.

I am using KLCH, so far I can find no news feeds for ground truth on the tornado supposedly moving through Alexandria. The cell following the original one into Alexandria is also looking to be of interest.

KPOE now back up....looks like both storms have weakened a tad...but still bears watching. Any news from Alexandria??

The storm now just nw of Alexandria is now tor warned...big hook but on velocity doesn't look great...

No news, either it was minimal or non existent. The second cell has been warned going into Alexandria however.

I guess there was something in there after all.
The public reported a tornado in Alexandria and there is apparently building damage and numerous power lines down.

Looks like two areas of concern now.....one SW of Jena, and the other SE of Pollock...
I have friends in Alexandria...hope they are ok.

Storm looks like it's moved NNE of Alexandria now. There were two couplets on 88D, the westernmost one of which has now pretty much dissolved. The Eastermost couplet looks interesting, with distinct hook and a small WER. (as of 1744 UTC image)
[Edit - also seeing a couplet entering Desha county, Arkansas, approaching McGehee. 1800 UTC]

Anyone looking at the cell that looks to be producing a tornado just southwest of Yazoo City? This one looks nasty with strong rotation.

Well I hope ppl are safe, this storm looked like a monster. And it seemed to turn into one right as weak precip formed all around the cell. It tends to make me think that some upper level forcing has just intercepted the convection at the worst time, just after peak diabatic heating. It seems at that point thats when a ball at the end of the hook echo started to form, an indication of a very significant supercell. Reminds me of some article in bams about radar tags or cloud tags in sig tor events.
At least if this is the case, the storm should disipate from the intesity it is at within the next few hours. Might be interesting to examine over the next few weeks
