I just saw on the weather channel that 30 homes were flattened in Vicksburg

[Shell Beau]

due to this hellacious storm. It is in Yazoo City right now. So bad. Please keep those in the lines of this storm in your thoughts. It is a whopper.

Luckily, my town barely missed this bad tornado. Still under the watch, but my town is ok.

1. Wow. What state is that?

2. Mississippi

I remember about 60 years ago Vicksburg got hit and demolished. My heart goes out to them.

3. Mississippi

That's horrible that those homes are gone. I hope that is the extent of the destructive weather.

12. It only got worse unfortunately. Yazoo City had a tremendous amount of damage.

6 reported dead, so far.

4. Shell, how does it look in the Scott County area?

My mother in law lives near Morton, MS. I haven't seen anything on thte news, but I know how fast things develop and change in that weather.

[Shell Beau]

7. I haven't heard anything about Scott County. IT seems

Yazoo City was hit really hard.

5. I've been warning people downstream that this storm is a mean one

Any winter storm that produces thunder in NM is going to produce tornadoes when it gets across the mountains, and this one produced a hell of a lot of thunder.

It's cold again, too. I'm so sick of winter I could scream.

[pleah]

6. Do you have a link to this info?

I live on the coast and would really appreciate it. Thanks. :)

[Shell Beau]

8. No, but I'll see what I can find. I saw it while watching the Weather Channel.

13. 7 dead in Kilmichael. . what a horrible day, Shell

I have dear friends in Madison, not too far south of Yazoo. They are OK but I guess Yazoo is a mess.

[Shell Beau]

14. I am very near Madison. I am about 40 miles from Yazoo.

Terrible.

[Shell Beau]

15. 10 now confirmed dead. Children are among the dead.

17. A mile wide, and it stayed on the ground.

Many times they touch and go back up. Not today.

[Shell Beau]

18. Kick! 200 homes destroyed by this storm and the number

is likley to climb. 10 dead so far, at least 3 are children. Please keep these people and their families in your thoughts.
