Alabama Skies: What a difference a state line made!
Published 1:30 am Saturday, February 18, 2023
After several days of preparing for last week’s severe weather threat, the system really underperformed once it crossed the Alabama state line. Sure, there were a couple tornado warnings and severe thunderstorm warnings, but the weather could’ve been much worse. That wasn’t the case for our neighbors in Mississippi where the National Weather Service confirmed five tornadoes across the state.
The only real issues following the storm system are some flooding waterways. If you live near a river that normally floods after heavy rain, be sure to stay alert if you’re usually impacted by minor flooding.
