Hinds County supervisor speaks out after being expelled from meeting
SUMMARY: Hinds County District 2 Supervisor Tony Smith was expelled from a board meeting for bringing a gun, which he claimed was empty, inside the building. Smith stated he was asked by Hinds County Sheriff Tyree Jones to place the gun in his vehicle during a recess. However, before Smith could return to the meeting, he was barred from re-entering. He explained he had the gun on him because he had been checking his rental properties earlier and forgot to remove it. Smith believes the incident is being used by other supervisors to discredit him, emphasizing there was no hostile intent.

WCBI/MSU Storm Chase Day 8 Recap – Home – WCBI TV
SUMMARY: We traveled over 750 miles to northeastern Colorado and observed multiple storms on Monday. Initially forming near Denver airport around 3 PM MDT, the storms increased in intensity as they moved east-northeast, becoming severe with mid-level rotation and producing hail. We noticed cloud bases lowering over time and observed two short-lived gustnadoes. The storm reached its peak visual intensity with a rotating wall cloud and occasional funnel, but bases remained high. Near Yuma, CO, the storm produced baseball to softball-sized hail and hurricane-force wind gusts.
