Gotta love the Carolinas doing stuff like this on 0% tornado MRGL risk days. Got an isolated supercell with a hook and couplet (on TCLT) and a possible debris sig visible on RAX.

Nasty hook on the cell immediately following the first one

 

[CannedHeat]

Yeah this is almost textbook

Tight couplet too, I would be surprised if there isn't a TOG with this

In other news, this hail core popped up southeast of Huntsville.

That went right over me last night. Didn’t notice much wind but hail was in the nickel to quarter size. Didn’t experience baseball or whatever was being confirmed elsewhere while being under the highest area of radar reflectivity.

A stronger tornado in Jasper county was responsible for at least
25 known injuries and 1 fatality. Preliminarily, this tornado
that impacted the Louin vicinity was found to have winds to at
least 150 mph, EF-3, and a track length of almost 8 miles.

Louin MS tornado rated EF3, 150 mph per PNS from NWS Jackson.

I'm expecting another EF2+ rating for Moss Point as well. This has been one of the most unusual, anomalous tornado outbreak sequences I can recall. Stuff like this just fascinates me to no end.

This commercial installer got himself caught in the Moss Point, MS tornado yesterday and was lucky to come out with only a broken driver's side window. Warning that the part of the video containing the moment the tornado hit his van contains a lot of bleeped swears.

First June EF2 since 2009 in MS and the first June EF3 in MS since 1957.

First June EF2 since 2009 in MS and the first June EF3 in MS since 1957.

Also the first June tornado fatality in Mississippi since 1959.
