We knew the front was coming. We knew when and the intensity of the storm. Trusting that our home would be okay depended on factors out of human control. However, I have history and science on my side. The hill I live on has not had a tornado cross it in 130 years (records show).
Here is the same map (as above) with some information about my and Hay seed’s homes.
A reported tornado on the ground near Hay seed’s home and mine. Too soon for damage reports.
Hay seed and his family survived a direct hit from a tornado about eight years ago. I called him at 9:30 pm to see if they were okay. They are and all is now quiet on the southern front.
Here is a review of a moment in time.
Sheer wind effects with green shading (warm air) and red (cold blast) colliding.
The term “Bow Echo” is when a hook forms between the two edges of the storm front (different colors on the map). That is where an energy rotation is likely to form.
Lightening strikes (white streaks) and direction of storm.
And now the short videos.
I stepped outside to shoot the next segment.
Here is a link to the event from another perspective.
This is just a report on the climate impact of one area in Mississippi. My regular Daily Bucket will be much better today. Fear not, have a comforting beverage and rest your weary hearts.
