There were tornadoes all over Mississippi and Alabama this week and weekend. Today, we were able to see some of the damage done in Tupelo, MS this week. We also viewed large downed trees, downed power poles, and roof damage in Tremont, MS and on Hwy. 19 near Hamilton, AL.

The tornadoes have been worse in our area than I can ever remember.

There has been a lot of tornadoes this year. There were a few tornadoes south of Washington DC on Friday morning.

Here are some pictures from the tornadoes in Oklahoma.

My family and I had to take shelter Saturday night about 11:45pm. The National Weather Service issued a warning for our little village of Scobey, MS. It went over without touching down, but I knew when it passed over. There was about ten seconds of hard wind and swirling hail pelting the house. Much prayer was happening. No damage at all. Two other tornados actually touched down within miles of us. U.S. Highway 51 had to be shut down about ten miles north of us because of debris. We are very thankful for the grace of God.

Glad you were spared. My only tornado experience is what Hollywood has educated me with. Do more tornado's happen at night compared to the day?

Paully,

Not a meteorologist here but I believe the conditions for a tornado stem more from atmospheric pressure than from day or night. I could be wrong.

I was up at 430am on Mother's Day watching the weather. Around 6am, the sirens started sounding and I woke up my kids to head to the basement. We got in there right before it hit. I have heard no confirmation of a tornado but North Macon (where we live) was completely trashed. 58,000 people without power. We were very fortunate and sustained no damage to our residence but it seems to have hit all around us.

After my Mother's Day breakfast, we went out and took pictures of the damage. I'll post photos soon.

Our old home in South Macon area was trashed as well. Some said Macon looks like a war zone

According to this website. Most tornadoes occur between 3:00pm and 9:00pm. But they can and do occur at any time the conditions are right for them.

Missouri and Oklahoma were absolutely rocked by an EF4 and EF5 tornado as well. 21 dead in the region. The town of Picher, OK is no more and I suspect I may be headed there tomorrow for work.

We have tornadoes here, a strong earthquake in China, and a cyclone in Burma. Mother Nature is not being too kind right now
