2021 Tornado Thread (year, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas)

[High_Plains_Retired]

Hey! It's already March 2021 and I can't find a thread for this year.

Several counties in the Texas Panhandle and many more on The South Plains are under a tornado watch this evening until 9:00 pm.

I live in Birmingham, Alabama. Tomorrow should be interesting to say the least.

Alabama and Mississippi are going to bear the brunt of this thing beginning this afternoon.



NWS has upgraded the risk level to High. And has expanded the High Risk area eastward this morning. Needless to say, it's a fluid situation.



If you're in the region, buckle up.

Here is hoping that you get through this OK. I live in Cookeville TN where we got hit with an EF-4 last year so I know how bad it can be.

Thanks. I remember that one. Of course, you guys are kind of in the zone, too. It's a dangerous, widespread situation.

Yeah, we definitely are keeping our eyes on this for the next 24 hours.

Tornado is on the ground NOW near 17 miles east of Rusk, Texas heading toward Mount Enterprise, Texas.

What is the best storm shelter to get? I'll be moving to Alabama and we were thinking of getting one in the ground but my son said the above ground ones are just as good and cheaper.
