Haha, icicle. You beat me to it!

It looks like we might be coming under the gun here in a few hours.


Looking outside we're in a thunderstorm right now, but it's just rain and thunder.. it's very windy and the clouds are moving really fast and are twisted into odd shapes. It's really pretty.

Little Rock, AR radar is picking up the intensity (but not the rotation) of the cell near Junction City, AR. Impressive cell.

it's held together a while now. How close to Memphis is this heading? Looks to me as if it will go near the southern parts.

It's happening here. We've got the yellow sky. First squall line will arrive soon. It's the second I'm concerned about. It will get here after dark. I hate that part. I wish my wife would come home from work.

Go to the NWS doppler in Jackson, Mississippi. There has not been this much color in the graphics since Katrina and Rita.

The storm has moved into Phillips County, AR now. And if it holds together will move into the area I live in within an hour.. the radar isn't showing as strong rotation and it's rained and been cloudy here so I don't know if it will hold as it crosses the river.
