WCBI/MSU Storm Chase Day 7 Recap – Home – WCBI TV
SUMMARY: On Sunday, storm chasers tracked a supercell storm from western to central Oklahoma after initially experiencing a few uneventful days traveling through west Texas and New Mexico. High-based storms developed in the Texas Panhandle around 3 PM, moving into western Oklahoma by late afternoon. A notable supercell formed between Cheyenne and Woodward, showcasing clear mid-level rotation and an impressive updraft. Throughout the chase, the storm cycled multiple times, producing various wall clouds and funnels. Near Hydro, Oklahoma, a funnel descended low from a rotating wall cloud, though no tornado was directly observed due to possible rain-wrapping.

Starkville businesses see less customers during summer breaks
SUMMARY: Mississippi State's spring semester has ended, with seniors graduating and many students moving home for the summer. This seasonal migration causes a dip in local businesses' foot traffic. Brikley Spencer from Maroon and Co. noted that they offer promotions to attract customers. Bart Wood of Little Dooey mentioned that while there's a slowdown, recent developments like Cornerstone Park tournaments and MSU camps keep Starkville active. Both businesses largely employ college students, but the summer schedule balances staffing needs. Despite past challenges, Wood says conditions have improved, and they adapt annually, considering even shortening hours during slower periods.
