Several small tornadic supercells developed over the Gulf of Mexico and moved rapidly northward across the LA, MS, and AL Gulf Coast this afternoon and evening, with at least 1 confirmed tornado touching down in Mobile County, AL. The SPC has issued a tornado watch for this area until 11:00 pm CDT, as a line of embedded supercells continues to move east this evening.
A very localized area of instability exists over the Gulf of Mexico and the immediate coastline from MS eastward across the FL Panhandle with 0-1 km helicity values of 150-250 m2/s2, resulting in an environment still conducive for tornadoes. Stay tuned for updates!

There was a tag somewhere so I couldn't post the whole thing.
Damn Them Tags!! =(
I know, Brady! Sometimes they're easy to see, like if you put an apostrophe on the end of a word, or if you put two dashes in a row, but I couldn't find this one.
(Hopefully this doesn't end up being a duplicate post - I hate that!! :D)
Ahhh...It rained here and I didn't notice until I looked out the window and the ground was wet...Well I'll make a video of rain for no reason...When it starts again.
Reed I'll email you pictures/video when it snows here..I'm sure I'll be the first one to get some pictures of snow and stuff..
I know exactly what you mean Heidi!! That's half the reason I type the way I do!! hehe

Well I made a boring rain video...My bateries are dying though and I need to save them until I save up to buy more. They're so expensive here :( If it rains heavily I'll film some more or if it snow's I will, otherwise I'm done for today.
Your snow's comin dude!!
Is it just my noob self, but does this storm in AL not look too impressive on radar?? It looks like a big MCS that has some balls to me!!
Good luck with the snow Kenny! Thanks for always sharing your video.
trust me doggie!! Your gonna be so sick of snow in two or three months!! Thats about the same time you've been waiting for it!! lol
here are some scanner messages about the different fires.
live scanner feed:

There is a nice lil layer of frost growing on the TIV!! I might have to scrape some windshield before i go to work!! =(
just got a report of people trapped in their house with fire around them. (from the big bear scanner)
numeral structure fires anticipated by command.
anyone got any updates on the situation in San Diego County? it seems most recources are heading that way now.
massive evacs, and lots of congested roadways.....
Here is a cool satellite shot (3MB) of the fires from 21z
Dust storms too, all the way down the baja coast.

just heard a report that the fire is coming up the mountain where all the major san diego tv stations have their antannas.
Hey guys,
Just an update - I am physically ok. Had 3 wisdom teeth removed yesterday and wound up going into anaphalactic shock. I have some severe throat, neck, chest and facial swelling
Will tlak to you guys when Im a lil better
Analysis of the Mallorca (Spain) MCS/MCC http://www.wzforum.de/forum2/read.php?7,1220586
It's only interesting for you if you're able to read German, sorry :-(.
Get well soon Matt!
500.000 evacs now
Things continue to be really bad in so cal...thanks for the updates and links cors.
Glad to hear your okay matt! After hearing that I'll probably leave my wisdom teeth in for awhile.
this is prolly the best live feed atm:

CNN is reporting 1000 homes have burned, but from the wording in the report, it is hard to understand whether that is *just* in San Diego County, or over-all. It sounds like they do mean in San Diego Co alone, but if you read the link, I think the confusion is apparent. Probably the result of trying to put together an update too hastily ... in any case, of course: NOT GOOD!!!

NEW: CALIFORNIA ISO: CONSERVE POWER
California ISO has declared a transmission line emergency in all of Southern California. California ISO is asking everyone to conserve energy
It's interesting to read somewhere that Santa Ana days have tripled in So. Cal. It seems like this firestorm will be as bad as 2003, and that was only 4 years ago. We are in important times meteorlogical times possibly. This is not my field of expertise. It would be interesting to hear what NWS/NOAA are projecting, there's always the argument that this is just a natural cycle.
I guess they are now saying that it is 1000 homes and businesses in San Diego Co. alone - not overall. WOW! =-O
Nice link, Cors.
Still looking really bad in south CA, i hope they can get it under control soon....
Thanks for the link Cors
I just heard on the nwes that a Tornado has been reported for Tampa Bay, and that they are also on Tornado Warning as well. This was at 5:00AM Mountain time. I was up late and saw this on the local news.
