Excellent photo......Ansel Adams would like it.

The sky was just eerie this morning. It's unusual for the fron edge of a squall line to be THAT visible.

I want a basement -- damned Yazoo clay!

Debatable, really doubtful, that the video is the formation of a funnel.

I'm just going by what he wrote next to the video on FB. I got his permission to post this.

That McRory photo is eerie. Thanks for posting it here.

9:57, go stand under it next time so we can make sure. and bring a long copper rod just in case

Bill Dees said...

I'm pretty sure that's not a funnel cloud. It looks more like a nympho-cummulus to me.

Kingfish said...

Dunno. I think its a matter of the weight ratio of the clouds and that is hard to tell from here.

the sirens went off in this area when this video was taken. We have a great warning system here in Madison. Anytime a Tornado or a Democrat is spotted it warns us of impending danger. Democrats are like Tornadoes ...they sound really cool but after they are gone there is always a big mess someone has to clean up.

The tornado warni g system is ineffective in the city of Madison. They blow the alarms for too many false warnings. It is so bad that if a dog pees on a telephone pole, the sirens blare. Crying wolf leads to apathy.

i don't care what anyone says, the sky WAS falling

Lieutenant Graham is available for emergency siren consulting. He can also provide guidance on how to run a private business while simultaneously under the employ of city taxpayers. Call the State Auditor's office for references.

I've heard of no problems with Madison area sirens. Nor do I give a shit if this was a real funnel cloud. The pictures were great and I enjoyed the video. Some people will bitch about any damned thing just for the sake of bitching.

@ Shadowfax
Hit the nail on the head. It amazes me that people can pull politics into a conversation from a picture of a cloud. "My city, town or county is better than yours. Our police agency are real police. Our politics are better than yours. I live in Rankin County and Rankin County is the best place to live. No I live in Madison County, and we are better than yall. Blah blah blah. The only real danger to the Tri-County area are the babblings from its would be polititions.

I've been that close to a funnel that formed and dropped from they sky. If that were a funnel cloud it would have been WAY more windy right there. Tha was just turbulence.

People that "bitch about any damned thing just for the sake of bitching" are really annoying. But you know what's worse? People who bitch about the people who bitch about any damned thing just for the sake of bitching.

Also, I am drinking a high alcohol beer I trucked in from TN as I type this, and I'm still less impaired than SF.

"nympho-cummulus"

Now that sounds like a fun way
to spend time with a loved-one during a storm.

" Hey Boss-Man, I'm going to be
about two hours late......
we have a little nympho cummulus
going on in my neck of the woods "

Micah Gober said...

looks more like a scud cloud. I'm not a weather man.

Shadowfax said...

@7:29; I've heard about you pink-loafer guys who truck in pricey beer. Enjoy your weekend in the clover.

I wish Jim Cantore would come down here and study why every damn tornado heads to Canton. WTF?

It is a divine warning to the Blackmons but they ain't getting the message.

Tornadoes think Bentleys are delicious.

Did you ever wonder what sound a tornado made before freight trains were invented?

Anonymous said...

That's always my first thought 5:56.
It's never a passenger train, always a freight train.

Shadowfax said...

Why does a tornado never hit the house of someone with all their teeth and a button down collar?

Anonymous said...

I have to argue with that one. Check Madison's Fairfield tornado 11/24/2001.

The Butterknife said...

I was in that damn tornado. It sucked.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
