It's rare that federal forecasters warn of major tornadoes with the potential for carving damages across long distances, but they are doing so in Tuesday's forecasts.
"Multiple rounds of severe thunderstorms -- some capable of long-tracked tornadoes with EF3+ damage potential -- will be possible this afternoon into tonight over parts of the lower Mississippi Valley region and Mid-South," the Norman, Oklahoma-based Storm Prediction Center said.
Tornadoes with an EF3 rating on the Enhanced Fujita tornado scale can produce wind gusts of up to 165 mph. Flood watches were issued Tuesday for parts of southeast Mississippi and southwest Alabama, where 3 to 5 inches of rain could lead to flash flooding, the National Weather Service said. The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency urged residents to have multiple ways of receiving weather alerts and know in advance where to go to stay safe. The agency also urged people to take pictures of their homes before severe weather strikes.
"These photos can be used for insurance purposes and/or possible assistance if your home is damaged in the storm," the agency said on Twitter.© 2022 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
