3/3/08 Now: MS/LA/AL/FL

Nast looking cell in Pike County about to cross over into Lincoln county near I-55. It is tornado warned, shows decent rotation and is out in front enough to take advantage of insane helicities.

Noticed Terry Tyler is from Auburn, Ms. This should pass just a couple miles from his house so he should be on this storm.

This cell is just crossing over I-55. Still showing strong rotation. Damage reports are coming in, including a home destroyed, several homes damaged and trees down.

Another impressive supercell crossing I-55 just north of Roseland, LA. Torn warned with TVS. Nice looking rotations at low-levels.

Greensburg, LA got lucky a few minutes ago.

Couplet is intensifying on Yazoo County MS cell, near Rollng Fork (Muddy Waters' home town). Gate to gate is not that impressive (43kts) but the circulation appears to be tightening--in fact, 55kt TVS just popped in as I write this. There appears to be a batch of junk in front of this cell, however.

Trees down, roof taken off building, car moved several feet and power lines down near Tylerstown. Possible tornado.

Trees down, roof taken off building, car moved several feet and power lines down near Tylerstown. Possible tornado.

The gas station that I was streaming from a couple of hours ago got hit by lightning and is on fire as they got hit for the third time in just a couple of hours . The line is alot more impressive now than it was a couple of hours when I was there. If it wasn't for the check engine light I would still be chasing in MS and AL .

Looks like a watchful night for north Alabama--cell approaching Jasper (Walker County) is tor-warned and currrently shows a quality rotation/TVS with 102 kts gtg. I thought we might slip out of this one, but it looks like potential remains. Newly issued watch runs through 9am--great chasing hours....

Edit: rotation has become less organized as cell crosses over Jasper, but is still present.

Edit 2: damage reported.
