[HarlequinBoy]

There's tornado warnings for Harrison County, MS and Baldwin County, AL.

[Squarethecircle]

Those are some pretty nice looking cells (at least, for a weak event like this).

[HarlequinBoy]

Yeah, the cell in Baldwin County looks pretty ominous.

[Squarethecircle]

One of the warnings down, new one up on the MS/AL border. Looks like the one down in Baldwin has a nice hook developing (though my image is partially obscured by a warning graphic).

EDIT: looks pretty darn nice now. Very wide tornado warning.

[HarlequinBoy]

Nasty storm NW of Pensacola.

Tornado warning for central Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

Also tornado warnings up into Alabama for parts of Perry, Dallas, and Marengo.

EDIT: Pretty tight couplet right on AL/FL border.

[Ivanhater]

Looking nasty just to my north in Pensacola...

[HarlequinBoy]

Tornado warning Wilcox County and NE Clarke County, AL.

[Ivanhater]

Tornado reported on the ground in Molino Florida...just north of Pensacola

[Squarethecircle]

Not surprised; bound that someone see it sooner or later.

[JonathanBelles]

Our weather (central Mobile County) is going downhill fast now. We've been watching WKRG for over an hour now talking about the weather to our north and east, but now the squall line is bearing down on us. As I type, our little doggie is under my feet-- he does not like this at all. The weather radio has gone off 3 times in the last hour here. However, we haven't had it as bad as Baldwin County and Escambia County, FL (and hope we don't). The storm that brought the tornado to the Molina, FL area actually came in from the Gulf near Fort Morgan peninsula and tracked thru Baldwin County into Florida. It was amazing to watch it cycle down then cycle back up again. I tried to find a live webcast from here to share with y'all, but none of the local TV stations are doing that. Okay, thunder is getting louder, lightning brighter, and rain harder-- so I better get off this thing and pay better attention to that.
