Looks like Hattiesburg, MS got hit pretty hard by an early morning tornado. 4 deaths being reported at this time.
Not a good way to wake up. Don't remind me why I hate severe weather.

I'm surprised a weather nut like you doesn't keep a log of weather at your location. I keep track of all precip events with a simple Excel form. I recently started keeping better track of daily snow depth. Airports and backyards will differ but I understand you can get an idea from it. Just surprised you don't keep your own log.

We'll see how strong they get. A lot of times it's really only a few gusts very high and done but wow at the forecast for sure.
Also note... no leaves on the trees so its not as bad as if there were.
Also, ground is wet but because its semi frozen it's not really saturated too far down.
Also, it could be raining with these gusts. That means intense sideways rains. Gonna feel like a Tropical storm with temps in the 40s
10:15am radar. Nasty line of storms now entering Southern Georgia and Florida. Poor folks. Dealing with Summer temps most of this winter then this in January. Tornado warnings smaller red outline.
Risk has been upgraded to Moderate for areas to my north, mostly due to the hail threat.

...AR/LA/MS This Afternoon and Evening...
Water vapor loop shows a lead shortwave trough moving eastward
across the Gulf Coast states. Subsidence behind this system will
help to suppress deep convection over the ArkLaTex region for a few
more hours. However, another shortwave trough over NM and West TX
will lead to increasing lift and cooling aloft by mid/late
afternoon. Present indications are that scattered thunderstorms
will develop over southeast OK and northeast TX around peak heating
and track eastward across parts of AR/LA and into MS this evening. Forecast soundings show steep lapse rates, cold mid level
temperatures, and favorable deep layer shear values to promote a
widespread risk of severe hail. CAM solutions also indicate
discrete supercells will be favored, further increasing the risk of
very large hail and a few tornadoes. Therefore have upgraded
portions of this area to MDT risk for the hail threat.
Feeling more like late March or early April in Indianapolis today than late January, forecast is calling for highs today to be in the lower to middle 60's.
