my goodness.....it is soooo windy here. Haven't seen winds like this since one of the many tropical system went through here last summer. It's not raining anymore, but stuff is flying all around my yard...Hope everyone in the counties who have tornado warnings are ok!

believe me...when there is threatening weather around I'm alert and wide awake! One crack of thunder and this girl goes from a deep sleep to being wide awake. I suppose it's just something that thrills me and scares me at the same time. I've spent many sleepless nights watching the radar and praying that it would all go away!

One moment that comes to mind right away was the night when TS Allison came through here by surprise. WOW! What a wild night that was...nobody had any idea what was happening.

Lamar county is about an hour north of me. This must be the same cell that produced the tornado in Marion Co. and Washington Parish

MS...looks like that last edge of storms has gone east and north of you...there is a real strong line heading NE but east of you and the 2nd line behind it has dissipated and will fizzle out....looks like you will get the winds and some of the rains, but will wane as this progresses eastward. I think you are out of the woods now!

thank goodness!!!!! The worst of the weather is just northwest of me. It's the tree branches and pine cones hitting my house that are keeping me awake right now. I can't get a report of how high the winds are. TWC says 20 mph...but I know the wind is gusting MUCH higher than that.

Yeah...those poor people north and NE of you are really getting feeder bands of violent weather just plowing along at 50-60 mph...these storms are racing. Seems as though all of the action has shifted more northerly and things will continue to quiet down for the night. I was looking over the GOM and saw a few remaining showers but nothing major as earlier and nothing heading your way....for now. The shift is on NNE now....good for you, bad for people upstate!
