Severe Weather in the Southern U.S....

UPDATE 8pm Saturday Evening...



In the previous post (below), I told you about all the severe weather taking place along the Gulf Coast this weekend.

Since the last post, there have been two additional tornado reports, which brings the total to two in Southern Louisiana and one in Southwest Alabama. There have also been more wind damage reports. So it's been a rough day down South!

While the weather is quiet and pleasant in the Quad Cities this weekend, that's not the case for areas along the Gulf Coast.


That's because a strong low pressure system is moving along the coast this weekend and it's caused the Storm Predicition Center to issue some Tornado Watches for Southern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and parts of Florida.


As of 4pm, there have been several reports of wind damage and, fortunately, only one tornado has been reported. The tornado was reported at 9:30 am Saturday morning near Rayne, Louisiana. Most areas are under a tornado watch until later this evening.
