Which would equate to an F2 tornado in terms of wind gusts (although hurricane winds last much, much longer than tornado winds - hours instead of seconds). That tornado was a high-end F2.

Then get into an interior room on the lowest floor of your house. Cover yourself with a matress or blankets.

I know...it was what the two earlier where arguing about...one of the things was something about someone saying get in a basement, was simply stating I would drown if I had one...

Crazy, regardless of whether you think you did a good job does not matter. Fact is, you did an excellent job with the bulletins and information.

So far, 22 tornadoes have been confirmed.

However, NWS New Orleans (who likely had around 10 tornadoes, including a deadly one) has not released anything, and NWS Tallahassee (who appeared to have between 3 and 5 tornadoes) has not released anything either.

NWS Jackson has also said they are not yet done.
