I'm looking at the forecasted radar for the jackson area and I just don't see wth everyone is freaking out about. They cancelling after school stuff everywhere and letting schools out early. It just looks like another set of scattered thunderstorms for this area. Am I missing something?

heard them say on the news that storm chaser #7 was racing down from memphis into mississippi...sounds like they think something pretty harsh is about to happen.

Looks like the squall line will be from about Yazoo City (God Bless those poor souls in that area) all the way up through MS and TN. Doesn't look like it will be bad around here and all the Chicken Littles are screaming the the sky is falling. Just don't get it. I will say if I lived around Yazoo City I would gth out of there. They have the worst luck when it comes to tornadoes.

Other than wind it's not bad around Flowood. Hope it stays that way. The Tupelo tornado is heading close to the in-laws' house. FIL is underground hanging out for a while.
