Sometimes it is best to just get things off your chest… So here it goes I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Friday night was like nothing I’ve ever experienced. This tornado was just… Different. It was scary. It was loud. It had a growl. It was a terrifying beast in the dark that literally destroyed a town. My only views were when the lightning illuminated this monster. Each flash it got closer and closer. It’s not appropriate to go into detail about what me and Frankie experienced being one of the first few people in town (post tornado). Everyone is probably well aware of what we observed and more. It’s a part of violent storms like this one. ——— Prior to the tornado hitting town, I was inside the city limits of Rolling Fork. I knew a tornado was about to strike and there were NO sirens going off. There were people out and about, going about their lives. We honked the horn over and over on the storm tracker hoping people would see it (wrapped in storm graphics) and put two and two together. The destruction this tornado left behind was something I hope I never see again. It changed me as a person, but for good too. I’m even more fueled to warn people, learn more, improve warning process and study these massive storms we observe. For those of you who have reached out, thank you. It means a bunch. I’m good, I’m okay. I took today off (from chasing) and spent some much needed time with family. I’ll be back at it this week. 🤙🏻
