SUMMARY: Earlier today, a tornado hit Wayne County, specifically the city of Waynesboro, in northeastern Mississippi. Pictures of the tornado and the resulting damage have been received. The threat of tornadoes is expected to continue for the rest of the afternoon and evening in central and south Mississippi. A tornado watch is currently in effect until 7 PM, and it is likely to be extended. The situation is considered particularly dangerous because these tornadoes are not rain-wrapped and can be seen easily. Numerous rotating cells are present in the area, prompting the issuance of warnings to protect lives.
