Tornado on the ground in Isola
- Thread starter Dawgpile
- Start date
On 82 going west towards Greenville. Very close to the turn off to Leflore County Country Club. The camera looks to the southwest towards Itta Benna.
There's a tower by the Pepsi building. We're on that. Had it spun around east looking over Greenwood last night.
Still open? I used to play there in the 80s/early 90s. Hardness of the fairways was only second to Sonny Guy in Jxn
9 on a scale of 10 on the Weather Channel, you will have a tornado. The highest I remember was 10 out of 10, and that was on April 27, 2011.
Yes, I remember that well. It was the afternoon around the time Hackleburg got leveled (and earlier, Smithville in MS), with an EF5 heading this way. I believe the OCM raised it to a 10 while he was on-air seeing what was happening.
Are you talking Torcon? Yes, it was 10 basically all over Mississippi and Alabama in 2011, similar to how it's 9 today. And the weather boys knew about both a week out.
What happened with this tornado? I'm not seeing man reports except social media. Looks like Bull Bottom Farms got hit badly.
Looks like it is going north of RF, thank goodness. But it looks serious and will be rough for the rural areas it's in right now.
If you can watch WLBT somewhere they are reporting extensively on it right now.
ETA I'm talking about the storm north of Rolling Fork right now.
Back when I was in Ag, I stopped in there and talked to a guy working on the clubhouse. He said someone had bought the place and was going to convert it into a KOA type camping ground. This was in '21 or '22.
