Tornadic supercell just went over Lake Charles. Pretty good lead time, though a tad surprised they let their warning expire at 3:00.

The cell in southwest Mississippi, that is now entering into Lincoln county, may be turning right a bit. It's not showing much by way of a velocity couplet, but it's holding together none-the-less. It may get munched by the precip to its south.

Edit: The storm is moving out of the area with the best moisture, but for whatever reason it looks better now than it did before. It obviously has some rotation.
