SRV1 and SRV2 scans show rotation at the same place about 6.5 mi south of El Dorado AR. Pretty good indicator of a mesocyclone, possibly tornado. It's getting kind of far from the radar to get a good CC signal, also lots of rain in between the radar and the storm.

obs from Navarre, I've never really seen anything like this before. The storms are blowing up so quickly out over the gulf Radarscope can't keep up. i.e. I will see lightning to the S or SW & then I look at the radar and see nothing. Five minutes later it shows up. I know there's a lag but this is happening multiple times. These storms are building up so quickly!

Reported a couple smokestacks as tornadoes last year and reported a rain shaft as a large tornado enacting a tornado emergency in NC last year. Not smart at all.

And drove into a tornado with sirens on, blew his windows out and tried to say he did it to block the road and save people, lol. He's got a long list.

Check out this tidbit from the Storm Prediction Center...

 The evening LIX RAOB revealed a very potent severe-storm environment -- both kinematically and
 thermodynamically -- in the vicinity of the front, which continues to spread northeast into parts of Mississippi and Alabama.
