The tornado warning system is going off constantly alerting of twisters.

Lil? Do you know any details about the alert equipment system? Is this by chance something new happening under conditions you have witnessed before? Have you heard anything about new equipment being installed, used or tested?
I know NOTHING about ANTHING!, but as I read your note, it struck me,… rapid, isolated barometric pressure differentials would be VERY difficult to monitor or isolate during high velocity, massive air movements. Could the sudden, random, small but violent pressures differences accruing that produces the tornado effect, be used to automatically activate a self powered alert system for the immediate area?
I’m thinking out loud and probably out of my ass, (as usual) but the two simultaneous posts from different locations just shorted a synapse.
Heah! If nothing else, the 10 seconds you spent reading this gave you a mental brake from the lashing wind.

We are not having high winds yet. Supposedly sensors have picked up several small weather anomalies that are symbolic of tornadoes. They are just using the typical emergency broadcast system stuff on the radio etc to warn us when those small movements have been detected. We are in a watch or warning til about 3 am here but they expect it to be extended.
So far a couple of small limbs for me but it's the Alabama peeps and IWM and dick that are about to have a bad night.

In an area close to me, three people were killed by tornados.....  The wind is picking up.
I'll check in as I can.

Yay!!! Morning and I have power and cable so far! The trees are just all over the place, whipping in circles. Trees are down all over the town and 7 are dead in Florida (5 near me) from the tornadoes.

Glad to hear from you Lilith and that you can get on line and have power is good news.
I just got an IM from Joe (#10 on the map) Their power is down but he still has phone so he could hook up on his laptop. He says the winds are still pretty bad and a tree is down in the neighbors yard. He ask me to post here and let everyone at least know that he is OK.
Now we just have to hear from IWM.

Woke up today and it was sunny.  Am not asking questions...just relieved New Orleans is ok.
Still hoping that IWM and other pixies are out of harm's way.

Just hope all our Pixie family is okay. Glad you've got power, Lil. Been a lot of prayers up here for everyone down there.

Thanks again for thinking about us everyone, and thanks PF for putting up the maps.
We just got power back last night. Still no TV cable. Several good friends lost their boats. The main east/west highway (US-98) is washed out in fort walton beach and just west of there a barge is parked on the highway that washed in off the intercoastal waterway. Don't know what the beach looks like yet, but heard they had 40 ft waves, so I don't imagine it looks very pretty. Still have not heard from IWM. Hope she's OK.
Joe
