ALERT Activation 3/28/2009

ALERT is activated at NWS - 3AM till 8AM Mark & Teresa Wells, 8AM till Noon Steven & Howard Moss, 12 Noon till ??? Ed Manley. SPC has area under "Slight RisK". Will be interesting to see if we are upgraded to "Moderate". Mississippi & Louisiana looking rough.

from Mark Wells:
Teresa & I spent overnight at the NWS. One bow echo coming out of the Meridian area was about the strongest I've seen. It quickly fell apart after crossing the state line. Had numerous damage reports out of Lamar County from non-thunderstorm winds. Over all though, we dodged a BIG bullet.
