I can’t stress this enough. If anyone on this forum lives in Eastern Mississippi or Alabama, you need to have an emergency plan in place now! This is an extremely dangerous situation as we’ve got strong/violent tornadoes in progress. Have a horrible feeling about this...

Yeah, this is one of the more concerning reports I've read in awhile.

Early reports are usually sometimes exaggerated to an extent like there were reports of bodies in ditches in Perryville, houses swept away after Marshalltown 7/19/18, etc. 

However the signature that was present with this along with the nighttime effect give me a really really bad feeling about this one. Reminds me of the Lee Co. tornado from earlier this year.
