:uarrow: What an incredible video. That was a very large tornado. Definitely a EF-3 or even a EF-4. I cringe the thought of seeing the damage from this tornado outside of Albany, GA. BTW, this storm chaser has mega guts to get that close to that tornado. I would never put my life at risk like that!

Nasty storms in GA but far less than worst case scenario fortunately. If this event is as severe enough to warrant a PDS watch it'll probably happen in Norther/Central Florida later this evening.

Squall line is already approaching the Interstate 75 corridor in North Florida. It is rapidly closing in. It will be moving into the Jax metro area within the next hour.

Do they do anything for traffic warnings? Lighted message boards, etc?

That stretch of road carries an awful lot of high profile vehicles.

Well, the FL DOT does have message boards on the Interstates to alert drivers of any pending messages i.e.. accidents or any weather-related issues .

As the severe threat slowly winds down across the Southeast, the culprit continues to spin in northwestern Georgia.
