The worst of the weather is here now. I'm in Starkville (NE MS).
I'm pretty sure the only reason I still have power is because I am on the same grid as the Hospital across the street.
Wind is really strong and it's been raining non-stop since early this morning. The worst I have gotten is that my cable went out for an hour or so and the power went off for about 10 seconds at one point.
I went out earlier and at one intersection I smelled smoke then saw that a large tree had fallen on a power line and the power company was working on it. It looked like several large sections of the city had no power.
There are a lot of trees down and tops broken out of trees around the city... and I went out before the worst of it arrived.
Talked to my parents who live in Jackson (central MS) and they got some really strong winds. A section of our fence was blown down, but other than that they didn't get any damage to the house.
All classes were canceled after 12pm today and until 12:30 tomorrow so I have had nothing to do but stay inside and watch the news.
