Wow!! Can't believe that @CoreyGerkenWX and I just intercepted this lightning illuminated nocturnal tornado from Hwy49W just northwest of Belzoni, Mississippi at around 11:20pm CDT!!

I am okay, heavy rain and a near invisible fence caused me to partially total my car.
There are multiple entrapment, including 13 people at a Burger King in Villa Ridge, MO. Numerous injuries reported.
This is devastating news. Today's reported layoffs at the NWS will impact our ability to keep Americans safe from extreme weather. These forecasters are essential frontline workers who save lives during hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods. Cutting these meteorologists isn't just short-sighted… it's dangerous.
Unfortunately I can confirm the rumors going around today since I received "the email"...I don't want to make any comments other than I am exploring legal options in a couple of avenues. I will probably be deactivating this account for a variety of reasons soon. I always advocate contacting representatives about the importance of the NWS/NOAA mission.
