Thin rope tornado now on the ground in Lee County, MS just north of Tupelo. My cousin called and said that there is damage to roofs and that it's headed for the mall. Live streaming coverage at WTVA.com

Although it is late in the event, VA/NC should also be added to this title.
After watching GRAE of the KLWX radar site around 11 PM EST, velocity values were showing some weak to moderate rotation just west and northwest of Fredericksburg, VA in extreme southern Stafford County. I've been listening to a stream of the county disptach for fire and police. They are reporting an area of moderate structural damage in southern Stafford County, I believe 5 - 10 NW of Fredericksburg, VA along Route 17. I haven't seen any LSRs from the Sterling office yet but I'm sure they are about to come in. There are a few reports of people trapped, some injuries, and numerous evacuations. Here is the link (should open up in Winamp):

There are also incredible velocity values coming off the cell in NC, between Winston-Salem and Greensboro. The storm is taking up the tail end of the line of storms that stretchs up into Virginia. There is an unofficial report of a tornado from the same cell a little bit earlier in Forsyth County.
**EDIT - They have issued another tornado warning for the cell south of the DC metro area. The warning now includes Charles and Prince Georges County in Maryland. It appears to be wrapping up again and is starting to produce a hook. Also, now a reported tornado with the Greensboro storm, NW of the city of Greensboro. An LSR with a report of cars blown off of I-40.

Inbound velocities of 95-105kts per GR2Analyst (depending on exactly how the storm motion vector is set) around 11:20pm EDT just south of Kernersville, NC..unbelievable.
