Shout out to everyone in LA, MS, and AL who will be impacted. Thinking about you this morning and praying that you are safe.

Found a pretty interesting free live feed from a storm chaser bringing in all sorts of views and other storm chaser types and radar and webcams, etc. Have no idea how good / established he is but it seems to be a pretty good compilation of a lot of live info.

I'm expecting to be going down there when they get the roads passable. Lot of dialysis clinics in the area are going to be calling for help to get things up and running.

Got a little rainmaker headed in here tonight. Don’t expect much except the usual flooding.
