EXPIRED – Tornado Warning for Choctaw & Washington Co. Until 10PM
The National Weather Service in Mobile has issued a Tornado Warning for southwestern Choctaw County and northwestern Washington County in southwestern Alabama, as well as east-central Wayne County in southeastern Mississippi, effective until 10:00 PM CST. At 9:36 PM CST, a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was located 6 miles southeast of Waynesboro, moving east at 40 mph. Radar indicated rotation within the storm, posing a significant tornado threat.
This tornadic thunderstorm is expected to affect mainly rural areas of southwestern Choctaw, northwestern Washington, and east-central Wayne counties. The tornado may produce dangerous flying debris, which poses a threat to anyone caught without shelter. Mobile homes may be damaged or destroyed, and damage to roofs, windows, and vehicles is likely. Tree damage is also possible.
TAKE COVER NOW! Move to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, away from windows. If you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris. Stay alert and take immediate action to ensure your safety.
