From the MS State emergency website:

1:02pm: A tornado has been sighted southwest of Starkville and is moving toward Starkville. Take shelter immediately. Conditions are serious, and each person should seek shelter on the lowest level of a building away from windows and doors. Classes are suspended until at least 3:30 p.m.

That's where the Tornado Emergency wording might be useful...especially considering I assume that basements aren't common there (since although not a flood plain it is still the coastal plain region).

Is Miss State still on winter break? Tornado may be approaching Starkville...

MS State has a campus radio station with a live feed according to the site if you want to listen to their coverage...

1:26pm: At approximately 1:25 p.m., a tornado was reported less than 5 miles away on Highway 12 moving toward the Starkville campus. Seek a safe location immediately.

For the 2000Z update, I would make these changes:

-Introduce a HIGH risk area in what is now the MDT area

-Extend the MDT south to the Gulf of Mexico, and east past Atlanta, Columbus GA and Pensacola

-Extend the SLGT east to a Tallahassee-Charlotte line, and west back to Cincinnati

Not sure, but that is really a bad idea in a life-threatening emergency situation!!!

because nws-site obviously is in difficulties

#75 Postby **simplykristi** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 2:33 pm

An extremely bad idea! I couldn't believe it when I heard it.

MS State radio station has stopped transmitting. That's not a good sign! Anybody hear anything in between the music they were playing? I've just been checking it intermittently for information.

2000Z - MDT extended to KY/TN border and south to the Gulf Coast, no eastern extension and no HIGH though. SLGT extended north to central IN/OH as warm front advances.

Storm looks to have moved north of MSU, no reports of damage from it, but it looks extremely impressive. Near perfect signature.

That cell does look very impressive.

Looks like a funnel cloud was seen on the camera from the top of the MSU campus(from the live feed of the Birmingham station).
