Tornado warnings in effect for Johnson, Saline, and Chartion Co. in Missouri.
Macon is the NE neighbor to Chariton county.
At this time, at least 2 tornadic storms appear to be a on a track that will eventually lead the to the Macon area, where I live.
I'm going to the basement now.
Kthxbye.

Here is my post done at the same time as Beam182's post.

ANOTHER BIG TORNADO ON THE GROUND NEAR WARRENSBURG, MO. moving NE!!! TAKE COVER IMMEDDIATELY IF YOU ARE IN THIS AREA!!! If it holds together it could move into the Mason area!! Be alert and stay safe!!

The hook is obvious in the early part of the loop. I hope it has disapated as it appears to have at the end of the loop. The report above is of TWC at 11:10 pm cdt.

THOSE POOR PEOPLE IN MO ARE GETTING HIT AGAIN TONIGHT!! Another VERY STRONG TSTORM is bowing out just to the wnw of Sedalia all the way up to I-70 as well as the tornadic thunderstorm mentioned above. I would expect from the radar signature that the Sedalia area and N will be or are getting SEVERE TSTORM STRENGTH STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AT A MINIMUM(greater than 58 mph). THAT IS SIX NIGHTS IN A ROW OF SEVERE WEATHER OVER THESE AREAS!!!

Well, Tornado #1 died out, but the other storm is headed on it's way, with yet another wave of severe WX possibly forming behind it.
Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 5AM Saturday.

DJ, you hit it right on the head!!! This is INCREDIBLY HEAVY BANGIN' FOR 1AM!!! Tulsa is now under a tornado warning from the same storm that hit OKC!!!! It looks like someone tied a string from that storm to the OK Turnpike and sent it running!! It hasn't deviated off that highway yet!! If it keeps it's current strength and track Pierce City, Monett and Springfield, MO are next in line!!!! I PRAY THAT THIS STORM BEGINS TO WEAKEN RAPIDLY NOW!!!

Take care Beam!
I hope by now everyone out there has weather radios or are sleeping with the TV on loud enough to hear a warning. Nighttime tornadoes are worrisome. I've been praying like crazy.
