As per The Weather Channel: 17 fatalities so far today from tornadoes (9 in Indiana, 8 in Kentucky).

Also, per Dr. Greg Forbes: very tight couplet moving in towards Roswell, Ga. with possible debris signature.

My posts should NEVER, EVER, EVER be construed as an official forecast as I know virtually nada respecting the finer points of meteorology. Consequently, my posts are obviously NOT endorsed by any professional institution or the good folks at storm2k.org. For official information please refer to the weather gurus at the NHC and NWS.

A reminder that the livestreams are being posted at the sticky 2012 Severe Weather Season Mother Thread for the members to see them there better as this thread is very busy and the feeds get lost in the pages.
