UPDATE: 1 PM CENTRAL: I am starting to upload some raw radar loops of the activity today (from AccuWeather.com RadarPlus) to this location. The SPC has split the moderate risk area in two.

UPDATE: 11:30 AM CENTRAL: CNN is showing footage on-air of possible tornado damage near Pintlala, Alabama. The footage is from WFSA, who also has an article on the storms, saying that there are reports of children trapped at a Fun Zone, and reports of accidents on the Atlanta Highway in Montgomery, Alabama. Fox News is saying 8 have been injured with 1 killed by the storms in the Deep South. Flood warnings are going up across MS & AL, as more than 4 inches of rain has fallen over a wide area, with nearly 10 inches of rain near Biloxi, MS:

UPDATE: 8 AM CENTRAL: Fox News is reporting that six people have been injured by a tornado in Mississippi this morning, though there is no confirmation from Google News or Storm Spotter Reports at this time.

ORIGINAL POST:

5 AM Central:
It's a heck of a morning in the Southeast, with 4 Tornado Watches and 6 Tornado Warnings currently in effect.

Another Moderate Risk has been issued by The SPC [JessePedia] for an unusually wide area of the Southeast today. Severe Weather Expert Henry Margusity (PREMIUM | PRO) says:
