Tornado Surveys
* Back in the office after a visit to northern Lauderdale County. I was joining the National Weather Service Storm Survey Team - consisting of Doug Butts and Jim Butch from the NWS in Jackson. They concluded that an F1 tornado was most likely responsible for the damage in northeastern Lauderdale County. Earlier, there was speculation that the damage had been caused by a downburst, but a more comprehensive evaluation of the damage concluded that it was an F1 tornado.* The damage was not widespread, but was significant. A mobile home was overturned and destroyed, and a van was picked up in the air and spun around.
* Good to see our front pushing through. Temperatures are in the 70's, and dewpoints are gradually beginning to fall after a muggy start around here. Cooler will be the word through the next 36 hours. But, we will gradually warm back up this weekend, as highs reach into the middle 80's again. Still, nothing as hot as early last week.
