Bad weather on Thursday...?

[amanda]

Tornado on ground near Holly Springs, projected path - Foxworth. Anyone hear anything else. I'm seriously considering vacating this converted fruit stand for sturdier quarters. Anyone watching the TV? Updates?

[amanda]

Getting bad here in Marion County. Tons of lightening and the temps are dropping. I'm waiting for cows.

[countrygirl]

The way it's moving, it looks like it's possible the stuff will be coming through the Petal/Hattiesburg/Oak Grove area around dismissal time for school. That makes for a bad situation....They won't let the kids leave if there's any warnings out there.

That's what I thought too. I'm sure they get the same information that Jones County and Sacred Heart get.....
Why they chose to potentially keep the kids on lock-down, I don't know.
I hate it for the ones that are stuck there. My babies, will NEVER be subjected to that again. They were willing to eat the bricks from the side of the house when they got home once, after something similar to this occurred.

[Conveyor Belt]

Hail=tornadoes in my book...

[jojobeans1120]

Hail!!! We Got Hail!!! Big Hail!!

Get to a safe location. Can ya get under a desk or something, if the need arose....

from the sound of it, the need might already be present.

[jojobeans1120]

Hail=tornadoes in my book...

in mine too, although, i know that isn't always the case...

add that with a circular motion of my windchimes.....
you can then find me and my babies, including my dogs, locked safely away in the hallway bathroom.....

[jojobeans1120]

I just received a recorded message from Petal School district saying the EMS has advised them of the bad weather and if necessary, they will be holding all students until it has passed.

I'm SO glad that I picked my babies up!!! :clap::clap:

[Fish-Bait]

Sumrall just went under a tornado warnin' peoples....

[LipsofanAngel]

Dad's out in Bellevue... said he could tell is was gettin real bad out that way. He's heading home soon, mom's at school (probably in panic mode like me), I'm in Purvis... wish I could go be with my sweet Sebastian. He gets scared in bad weather. I'd drive through a tornado if I had to to save my "baybay"!

[rileysmom]

I am in downtown H'burg....think I hear some rumbling outside now!! :ohnoes:

[jojobeans1120]

Forrest County... Tornado WArning!!

[jojobeans1120]

[jojobeans1120]

You can zoom in and see it close.


It didn't show any precip on it when I clicked the link.

Hearing some rumbles of thunder here in Petal.... getting louder and louder

[LipsofanAngel]

okay, it's north of me, if it's north of me i'm fine. only 6 miles north of me, means it's south of mom, dad, and sebastian... deep breaths, deep breaths...

[Fish-Bait]

Hell, everything in H'burg and surroundin' areas just went under warnin's....good grief..

[jojobeans1120]

The good news..... they said it should all be over with by 7

[Conveyor Belt]

I'm goin' outside...

[jojobeans1120]

From the looks of the radar, those in or around Purvis had better hold on! It looks like there's another storm headed that way, unless they've not recently updated their radar.

[LipsofanAngel]

okay, should i go to my friends house in purvis, or would it be safer to stay put?

[virgo]

Are they saying what time the second set of storms are going to hit?

[jojobeans1120]

okay, should i go to my friends house in purvis, or would it be safer to stay put?


Not really, but they are saying it should be over, completely, by 7.

[maxim]

Sirens sounding at USM for Tornado Warning. Stay safe, everyone...

[jojobeans1120]

okay, should i go to my friends house in purvis, or would it be safer to stay put?



I'd stay put. It looked like it was almost on top of ya.

[virgo]

[LipsofanAngel]

yeah, I just talked to my friend, and she wasn't even at home yet.... she went to Hattiesburg and thought she'd make it back before it got bad...

[jojobeans1120]

Looking at the radar, it seems like the worst of this round might go to our (PETAL's) south !!

[OLDLADY]

Don't know what to tell you Lips....I just got back on at home...don't know if you have time or evacuate or not....be safe. ...p.s....someone needs to make a note to self: Go on a shopping spree for new panties for the MH ladies, all shapes, sizes and colors....maybe Honey could go tomorrow since her house will be clean and good to go.

[jojobeans1120]

8 tornado warnings and 2 thunderstorm warnings..... :ohnoes:

[jojobeans1120]

...p.s....someone needs to make a note to self: Go on a shopping spree for new panties for the MH ladies, all shapes, sizes and colors....maybe Honey could go tomorrow since her house will be clean and good to go.

[ComputerDude]

Radio just said the tornado warnings for northern forest and northern lamar have been canceled.

[noway]

geez people.. Times have changed.. Its rained and thundered like this for the last 5000 years.. geeez

:smt105

[Conveyor Belt]

Outside on the front porch with the laptop... FUN

wind is picking up, rain is increasing. thunder off in the back...

I heard the sirens at USM here in Petal

[Conveyor Belt]

Some weird thunder... it keeps going 'Boom.. Boom' like someone banging out two rings on a large drum... odd.

[jojobeans1120]

Hopefully they're will be some awesome pictures of lightning to be taken during this... at least something good will come from it, aside from the rain!! :clap:

[LipsofanAngel]

geez people.. Times have changed.. Its rained and thundered like this for the last 5000 years.. geeez

:smt105
and for the 25 years that I've been alive of that, I've been terrified of storms. Some people get anxious due to weather, others don't. All there is to it.

[Conveyor Belt]

Looks like most of it's passing south of Petal on the radar...

I bet hawkeye's catching it right about now...

[OLDLADY]

Not about the weather but.....just heard something is going on in Puvis at the Hancock Bank with a lot of Police then about 6 or 7 police headed up 589 in possible pursuit....what's up my wonderful law men????

[Conveyor Belt]

and for the 25 years that I've been alive of that, I've been terrified of storms. Some people get anxious due to weather, others don't. All there is to it.

I used to until I came with 4 feet of a lightening bolt. Since then, I figure if I'm gonna get stuck, I'm gonna get struck and there's not a damned thing I can do about it. If anything, it's made me more brazen when it comes to bad weather.

[jojobeans1120]

People in or near Sunrise (petal).... get ready. WDAM said there's one headed that way...

[Conveyor Belt]

wind just picked up majorly her in Petal... lots of rain...

[JMC]

I just called my house over near west 4th/weathersby and there were sirens (police/fire/ambulance) going off like crazy.

[Conveyor Belt]

I want to see my neighbor's big green garbage can go down the street...

[OLDLADY]

Did my other question get lost on page 9 with all the posts? What does any one know about possible Bank robbery or bomb threat in Purvis????? Lips lock your doors, BTW........thanks for catching it JMC...

[Conveyor Belt]

I just watched a hawk fly down and grab a crawfish out of the ditch in front of my house. He glided down against the wind. CRAZY!!

[ComputerDude]

People in or near Sunrise (petal).... get ready. WDAM said there's one headed that way...Yeah I just heard. So much for it being LIFTED.

[jojobeans1120]

The rain was blowing sideways here!!!


Very cool!

[Conveyor Belt]

Leaves are flying off parallell to the trees now...

[jojobeans1120]

Hail!!!!!!!!

[Conveyor Belt]

I'd say the wind is moving about 30mph right now in Petal...

[Conveyor Belt]

I keep asking myself if this is smart... but it's too much fun!

[jojobeans1120]

It is VERY quiet here now... dead silence!!!!!!

[LipsofanAngel]

Not about the weather but.....just heard something is going on in Puvis at the Hancock Bank with a lot of Police then about 6 or 7 police headed up 589 in possible pursuit....what's up my wonderful law men????

bank robbery. and a note threatening to blow up the bank... or so's the word down this way.

[noway]

I checked with my scanner sources and nothing really going on around the Hattiesburg area..

My street isnt even wet from rain nw hburg

[Conveyor Belt]

Wind stopped... rain is still falling, but softly.

[noway]
