Sandy hook, Columbia Ms Tyler town and the surrounding areas are usually ground zero for these type of events....Laurel Ms had a big event two years ago
The NWS discussion for our area is among the most complex and lengthiest I have ever read; it's giving me a headache. Of particular interest, though, is this excerpt:
Doubt remains on the eastward and southern extent at this time. But, we will begin to acquire higher confidence later tonight and especially into the day tomorrow once we are able to weigh out challenges and items to watch for. Like all events along the immediate northern Gulf, sometimes the smallest limiting factor can be the missing ingredient and we simply cannot identify that potential just yet. We will continue to closely monitor.
Additional hazards: We will likely reach wind advisory criteria during the day on Tuesday, especially for the southshore of coastal SE LA and coastal areas east across MS. Strong onshore flow may also result in higher than normal tides as well on Tuesday. Furthermore, ample moisture content and high PW`s will support heavy rain possibly leading to flash flooding concerns, especially for areas along/north of I-10/12. The potential for a Flash Flood Watch will also be assessed in subsequent shifts

If they start adding FFWs, we’ll get zero rain. It’s like a curse.

Are we thinking that this needs to be a school early dismissal type situation? I hate the thought of the kids being in school during this time and having to drive to school in this to get them.

Schools are built 10x stronger than most brick homes. I’m in a brick home but I’d rather my kid be at school during a tornado if I had to choose.

Its more about the commute from school as to why you'd let out early.

I think it's just that I would want them home with me if I know the weather is going to be severe.

I don't know how to read them or how reliable they are, but the point sounding models on Pivotal Weather are giving a "PDS TOR" as a potential hazard over here in the Mobile area. That's obviously not ideal.
I seem to be in the "bullseye" on this. Columbia, ms has been hit a few times by tornados in the last 10 years, so this doesn't surprise me. I have my family prepared ready to jet out of harms way.
My mom was raised in Columbia, so we have a ton of family and friends still there. Very concerned.
