Tornado kills two in Missouri; more tornadoes on tap for today
The tropical Atlantic is quiet today, and none of the reliable models are predicting tropical cyclone formation over the next five days.
At approximately 12:15 am CDT this morning, a tornado near Paris, Missouri, killed two people when it ripped apart their mobile home and tossed them 400 feet away. At least four other tornadoes hit Missouri yesterday, and two tornadoes touched down in Texas, and one each in Louisiana and Mississippi. The driver of a Petal Water & Sewer service truck was hospitalized in Mississippi after strong winds picked up his truck and tossed it across I-59.
Another severe weather outbreak is expected today in the U.S., from the Mississippi Valley northward through the Tennessee Valley and the Great Lakes. Tornado Watches have already been posted, and today's severe weather has the potential to generate a few strong, long-track tornadoes. You can follow the outbreak today on our new interactive tornado map, which will post the tornado damage reports as they are received. The new feature also allows one to plot all the historical tornado activity back to 1950 for any region in the U.S. If you take a wunderphoto of a tornadic storm or tornado damage, and click on the "tornado" type of image flag when uploading it, our software will attempt to match your photo to the storm report for that tornado. These photos will then be available when you click on a storm report on the interactive tornado page. One of the storm reports for Missouri yesterday has several wunderphotos of the thunderstorm that spawned the tornado available, thanks to wunderphotographer Paleohebrew.

Why do you hope it's wrong? If it's right, it will bring much-needed rain to the Southeast.
I have a vivid memory of a farmer friend saying to my father after Camille devastated Nelson Co. VA (about 2 Counties over) "I don't think I can ever pray for rain again. I just realized that most of our summer rains are left over from Hurricanes and I can't wish those on anyone"

made a previous comments about something coming up the East Coast?
Can someone fill me in where they are gettingthis from?
Why is he scared? Is it becaused he's all dressed up and nowhere to go? lol
But the line of storms seem to be a hotbed for tornadic activity. I fear for those in the path of these storms who are not prepared.
Those guys who go out cahsing call this their second season
activity?
Tomorrow going to be a bad day for most of EC
Maybe not as bad with Tornados but everything
will be holding together for a major
event on the EC
How come my posts are not showing up?
You might have to go to your blog site and reset your filter at the top right to show all. A bunch of us had that problem the other night and I found out the hard way you can't do it at the top of this page. Something seems to have reset some of us to show average and that hides our posts from ourselves.
Not looking good there, guys.
