There has been some indication of a hook in a few frames. SRV (velocity data) doesn't indicate anything significant, but any rotation would be so small the coarse resolution of the data could have missed it.

Hmm.. The Inland hurricane watch is in effect till Monday night.. I'm guessing a tornado watch will wait till AM. {unless the threat for overnight twisters is higher than I think}

Rita was a tornado monster for the Southeast. Even got into the act in my area.

Mississippi and West Alabama got pounded with warning after warning(some counties had 5 and 6 warnings back-to-back)... and that was when ABC 33/40 in Birmingham caught that large tornado on towercam north of Tuscaloosa.

I'm afraid this is just the start of a very long 48 hours for us Floridians.

ALWAYS remember in a tornado warning take shelter! I let one go, and the tornado came within 100 feet of my house in May of 2004. I could have been seriously injured, since then I treat the tornado warnings like it is going over my house.

I brought up the higher resolution radar data and there is in fact some rotation present...

I pointed out the rotation there. Greens are winds moving away from the radar, red is towards.
