Interesting SE Storm Reports So Far...

By Jesse Ferrell, AccuWeather meteorologist

UPDATE: This website says that a train hit a tree in McComb, Mississippi and there was a possible tornado in Nashville, causing the airport to be evacuated and knocking over two tractor trailers. Some related damage will be appearing in the Raw Video player at right momentarily. And in Lacey's Spring, Alabama, a tornado hit a trailer park destroying three homes, but no one was injured. Below is a radar image as the line of storms moved through McComb, MS this afternoon.

ORIGINAL POST: As of 3 PM Eastern a line of severe thunderstorms was spawning over 30 warnings at the same time from Nashville, Tennessee through New Orleans, LA (which had a peppering of Tornado Warnings as well). Below are some of the more interesting storm spotter reports so far. Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana have had funnel cloud or tornado reports today, though so far you can still count them on one hand.

A 75 mph wind gust was reported near New Iberia, Louisiana, where I once spent some time building a home for Habitat For Humanity in 1993 after Hurricane Andrew.
