Tracking Weather Across the State
Today, the National Weather Service listed a third tornado from April 27th as an EF-5, the highest category in rating tornadoes. The list now includes tornadoes that hit Smithsville, MS, Hackleburg, AL to Huntland, TN and Philadelphia, MS. These three together mark the most EF-5 tornadoes from one storm system [...]
Last week’s twisters that hit the south are something I hope to never witness again. Whether it be the incredible loss of human life, or the millions (possibly billions) of dollars in property damage to the region, the effects of this storm system will be felt for years to come. [...]

At last report, the National Weather Service reports Wednesday’s outbreak included 211 tornadoes, an all-time record for a 24 hour period. With the death toll approaching 350, it makes this tornado outbreak the [...]
After one of the largest tornado outbreaks in recorded history, the National Weather Service is trying to determine how strong each tornado was. Wednesday’s tornado outbreak killed more than 300 across six states, making it one of the deadliest tornado outbreaks in US history. With so much destruction, the [...]
Last night many went to bed hearing that dozens had died in a massive tornado outbreak across many states to the south and east of Iowa. This morning we now know the scope of the devastation is far worse. More than 270 people were killed and the number is still [...]
After days of severe weather producing tornadoes over a large portion of the country, it looks like things are beginning to wind down across the southern and eastern portions of the United States. In the past 24 hours alone, more than 140 tornadoes were reported. It is likely that number [...]
