SouthernNJ Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 The first tornadic circulation has become more of a damaging wind threat, but a new meso formed along the SW portion of the complex and is now being warned south of Yazoo City in a separate polygon.

FSMweather Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Anyone else seeing those unconfirmed reports out of Louise,MS.? Not sure if they are true. But I'm seeing a lot about it posted. Scary if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Anyone else seeing those unconfirmed reports out of Louise,MS.? Not sure if they are true. But I'm seeing a lot about it posted. Scary if so. It maxed out over that area, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was considerable damage there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Anyone else seeing those unconfirmed reports out of Louise,MS.? Not sure if they are true. But I'm seeing a lot about it posted. Scary if so. Seeing reports being posted about that as well, but unconfirmed. Judging by the velocity signature at that time, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some substantial damage somewhere.

SmokeEater Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 A lot of weenies on FB are saying Louise is "gone", that's all I'm hearing so far. I'll wait for official word. I'm betting there's severe damage, but to say a town is gone at this point is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting there's severe damage, but to say a town is gone at this point is stupid. Having family from this area, I've been through Louise several times and as recently as this past Sunday. It only has a population of around 200. If it took a direct hit, it would very likely be leveled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 The main Yazoo cell looks to be accelerating away/trying to break off from the line in recent scans, and maintains a strong meso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lj0109 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 A new circulation has just formed in the "Old Little Yazoo Polygon" following the original couplet that triggered the warning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tornadotony Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 From US Tornadoes: http://d3j5vwomefv46...3fuN3Rk7QvBHwc_ I'd have to go back and look, but from what I remember, it was at least a 130 kt delta-V on that thing. Nasty stuff. Honestly, it's more than I expected to see today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tornadotony Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Possible debris ball? In this case, it's impossible to tell. Circulation is fairly impressive but broad. You really need dual-pol to discriminate any debris there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewxmann Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'd say no on the debris ball, the reflectivity on the end of the hook is not that high relative to surrounding areas and the circulation's pretty broad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I would agree with that, just had that look there for a second. Wish Jackson had the Dual-Pole upgrade.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 That debris ball type signature showed up when it went over the north side of Canton, population 13,000. Hopefully it wasn't one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I sure hope the reports of Louise being "gone" are false. If not, this could easily be an EF4 or EF5. Yeah lets not go there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching live video on the MDOT cam on I-55 in Canton when it went through. Lots of lightning and what looked like a lowering to the north of the cam where the rotation crossed the highway. The east facing cam into Canton shows the lights are still on in town. http://www.mdottraffic.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
