4/14/07 NOW: MS / AL

[John Peters]

Two rather large HP supercells just moved through the Hattiesburg area, one directly through town and one to the north. There is a report of a touchdown 9 miles west of Ellisville, MS: i believe this is associated with the northern storm, which was rotating pretty strongly earlier. Both storms are still tornado warned.

A tornado watch is in effect for southern AL, and the two storms are just about to enter the watch area.

Strong rotations visible on the latest radar scans on the tornado warned cell just north of Yellow Pine, AL right now. Its trying to make a hook alike shape and it also has a TVS on it.

Looks like there could be a couple large night-time tornadoes in central GA right now..very impressive velocity couplets on SRVEL1 right now a few counties ESE of Macon. Could be a really dangerous situation for the folks down there, especially given that it's 2 AM.

Nice tornado warned blob of rain down in Georgia. Actually a few embedded sups in that precip shield with tight couplets between Soperton and Wrightsville.

Appears previously mentioned Sopterton may have been hit by a tornado around 2:15 am ET. Damage reports coming in from the town matching the time that a strong couplet passed over the location.

Another round of potentially tornadic storms is moving into southern Georgia. I'm really pleased to see the NWS getting warnings out well in advance with the storms occuring so late at night. The atmosphere is still primed at this later hour, and we may see a couple more tornado reports before these storms exit the area.

Good chance we may be seeing a tornado in progress between Wenona and Arabi, Georgia right now. Not familiar with this area, but I'm hoping the area between the small towns down there is fairly sparsely populated.

EDIT: Crap, another tornado possible between Hartford and Empire, no warning in this area however so it may sneak up on anyone in it's path. Very tight velocity couplet however.
