The threat tonight is in the MS valley, OH valley and mid south. There are tornado warnings in MO now.

National Weather Service is saying there could be a tornado outbreak Saturday in the deep south, especially in AL and MS. The severe threat moves east Sunday, but shouldn't be as bad.

Here's the statement from the NWS.

A tornado outbreak is likely on Saturday across the central Gulf Coast States and Deep South into the Tennessee Valley. Numerous significant tornadoes, some of which should be long-track and potentially violent, are expected on Saturday afternoon and evening. The most dangerous tornado threat should begin across eastern Louisiana and Mississippi during the late morning to afternoon, spread across Alabama late day into the evening, and reach western parts of the Florida Panhandle and Georgia Saturday night.

Isn’t this a service that musk and trump are working to kill?
 
So people will have to pay for it.
Exactly. They don’t give a fuck about the average American. Why can’t the MAGA’s see that? These stupid fuckers are already complaining about being fired. They have obviously mistaken Trump for someone who gives a fuck about them. In my opinion, if you voted for Trump you get what you deserve.
 
Definitely worried here in Birmingham. Tomorrow night should be really interesting.

My granddaughter is a sophomore at Alabama. Please keep me updated so I can warn her. My mother had a PHD in worrying and some of that gene was passed to me.

Definitely will do. If you can, and if she is on social media, have her follow James Spann on whatever social media accounts she has. He is the best meteorologist in Alabama.
 
Gotta be tough, you really can’t prepare for a tornado, you just have to hope you don’t get hit
Yep, that’s exactly right. I’m basically just trying to remind myself that, similar to how every time I get on an airplane the probability of my becoming a fatality is extraordinarily low, the probability of my house getting hit by a tornado is also very low. All I can do at this point is make sure I close attention to the watches and warnings. We’ve got a pair of storm shelters on either side of our neighborhood so definitely making plans in case we need to hustle over there.

We’ve only got another six weeks left down here before we move back home to North Carolina and I’m really hoping to sell the house, not have to pick through the rubble of it! When we were buying three years ago, I distinctly remember the realtor pointing out when we were touring our neighborhood where a tornado had come through the suburb in which we live the previous year in January 2021. You could still see the path it took some of the damage it had caused at that point. In fact, just this year they were finally able to reopen a Hampton Inn hotel in the town that took a direct hit.
 
Here’s the air quality in Lawrence between Topeka and KC. The wind has been around 30mph today with gusts up to 60.

The wind has blown dirt up from Texas and smoke from Oklahoma. I just let my dogs out before bed to pee and they smell like a campfire. *sigh*

Christmas ish a year ago we had a tornado touch down two blocks from my house in Garner. So I am just counting on the "odds" not having a tornado anywhere near me for say a decade............
 
Both of the Chick-fil-A’s near my house in Birmingham are already closed today citing the threat of tornadoes, and the Waffle House across the street from one of them has a “closing early” sign. Yikes.

Thanks for the update. I’ve warned my granddaughter for them to be on the alert. The bad thing about tornadoes is that sometimes you have very little warning.

On a side note, a couple who live up the street have a yellow lab named Ford.
