kperk014 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I agree I think what happened almost five years ago (hard to believe) has caused a hangover effect. Also this is mostly a North Carolina crowd here. If it ain't there they don't talk about it. I looked in a few time during the day when I could catch a break at work but it didn't surprise me.

I know we don't have many people that post from al/ms, but there are those of us from all over that love weather outside of our backyard as proven by our midwest peeps here today. The board as a whole does a great job in every region, filling up the gaps the best we can. I do wish the people from those areas would post more though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Just picked up kids from school in West Columbia. Rotation cloud formed as I sat in car pool line. Did not form funnel but was trying. Kids went into full tornado protection inside school. Schools on a delayed release in midlands of SC. Now a flash flood warning is out for some of the same areas that got hit in October. It is a mess out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wish the people from those areas would post more though People all over Mississippi were diving for cover most of the day. I try to ease away from work when I can. Even though football season is over, in Alabama recruiting season is just as big. I'm sure all the message boards are still being flooded. I think more may post from now through April.
