Rocking and Rolling....

Just when I thought it was safe to go home...

A second round of storms, previously thought to be dead, rapidly became intense. No real tornado threat, but many reports of hail across many areas of east Mississippi and reaching into west Alabama.

Charles Daniel is at the station now, monitoring the situation and keeping everyone informed via our TV reports. I'm at my home, watching the weather and prepared to come in and help Charles out at any moment, should the situation worsen. Right now, we don't expect that. Just some heavy rain, hail, and a LOT of lightning. As I wrote that, I had a cloud-to-ground lightning strike outside the window here in north Meridian.

Flash flooding will also be a concern, and the NWS in Jackson has issued a Flash Flood Warning for Lauderdale and Newton counties until around 6:15 AM.

Time to get a nap...Tomorrow night could feature more severe weather. Will update that situation later this morning.
