Hattiesburg, MS hit by tornado

[RosyDaisy]

According to my weather friends, Hattiesburg, MS was hard by a tornado earlier. They said according to the coroner, 4 people were killed. I don't have any links just yet. I hope our Hattiesburg area members are safe. Thoughts and prayers to those affected. Tornadoes are evil monsters.

Looks like the area was hit hard.

It was rated EF-3. Now the southern half of Alabama are under the gun.

A friend of mine lives in Petal, a town next to Hattiesburg. It also was hit by that tornado.  I hope she's okay.  She's already had one house destroyed by a tornado...hoping she hasn't lost another.  I tried to reach her earlier today but haven't heard back yet.
