Severe thunderstorms target Southeast bringing threat of tornadoes, damaging winds

A potent storm sweeping across the eastern U.S., producing a deadly tornado outbreak in parts of the South on Saturday, continues to pack a dangerous threat of damaging winds and possible tornadoes on Sunday for the Southeast and mid-Atlantic states.

NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) issued a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe thunderstorms over parts of the eastern Carolinas, southeastern Virginia, north Florida and far southern Georgia. Severe weather is also possible outside these areas, as a Level 1 out of 5 risk was issued from Florida to Delaware and Maryland...............

It blew thru us late last nite and early this morning, but only wind gusts up to 37 mph and very little rain. I picked a full bushel of pecans this morning out of the yard.

Tornadoes North and West of us were pretty bad, hitting several towns directly in Tennessee and Mississippi. We just saw high winds and lots of needed rain (2 1/2 inches) ... Flooded a few areas with over 3 inches of rain.
