Yes...again it started last night in Texas..same outbreak...Non=stop tornado warnings..and many reports no gaps in conformed tornadoes 150 tornadoes seems possible..many wind damage last night will be confirmed to be tornadoes

and they out number t-storm warnings 2 to 1..shows how discrete the storms are.. this is the worst outbreak i have ever followed even in the plains and I also recall following the April 1998 AL event from the NIU weather lab , and this is over more populated areas then the plains and this is rare even there,,,,,and if storms stay disrete many more hours of this history in the making

the april 26-27 outbreak continues...non stop 36+ hour outbreak....many towns some large taking direct hits it is likley that current tornadoes are overlapping paths from this morning western TN and westenr KY now getting unstable...TOR warned storms to the west...still TOR warned storms over eastern TN..and MS/AL I have no words

time to save the current columbis MS radar shot(reflect) wow

confrime: moving through downtown

yep..it was wider then it looked too...just no dirt like the plains to fill up the outside,,you can see small debris clouds on the outer edges away from the funnel

not good power out and NOAA radio down from storms this morning

every cell when it hits about 50 dbz starts to rotate now matter how small,,amazing

courthouse in Downtown Cullum took a direct hit mean that sucker went though most of the city(p0p 13000)

Macon MS debris falling out of the sky

andy gabrileosn had a large funnel and a vortex spin off then I lost the signal
