Also some in #KS, #MO, #IL, #MS. Probably other states as well, but these are the ones I’ve seen reports about.
One passed near Tuscaloosa, Alabama, which saw some major #tornado damage in 2011.

History of #MS state flag: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Mississippi [en wikipedia org]
The legislature has to make a final approval, but it sounds like that is a foregone conclusion.
Glad to see the end of their old flag. It sort of said “we cornfederates are still fightin’” to me.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

The center of the storm is over Delaware, about to cross into the ocean (most of the storm is already at sea). Yesterday afternoon / evening, it was heading into Louisiana and Mississippi.
#NOAA / #NHC has issued its last advisory about the storm. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/
Along the way, parts of #DE #MD #VA #NJ #NC #TN #KY #WV #LA #MS #AL were under the storm. Hopefully, because of its speedy motion, there will be less damage across most of that path.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

From “the time when they knew how to punish people”.
I’ve never beed incarcerated, but my impression is that modern US prisons are still horrible, but much less so than they used to be.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

I've noticed that no one ever seems to have a positive impression of #IA. I've worked for months at a time in some neighboring states ( #NE, #MO, #KS ) and never had a similar impression about them. What's especially bad about Iowa?

#TropStorm #Laura is over and West of Hispaniola ( #Haiti and #DR ), expected to go over #Cuba before entering the Gulf tomorrow night / Tuesday morning and becoming a hurricane itself.

If you haven’t made an emergency evacuation plan yet, it is time to do so now. Ours is outdated, so needs work.
But basically, if you’ll need to bring it in an emergency, you should know where it is and be able to grab it quickly. If you’ve got pets or children in your home, or if you’ve got someone with health issues, you should never wait until authorities give evacuation orders. Be ready to leave and to get beyond the danger area BEFORE the crowds try to flee.
When #sonTwo and his wife were in #FL, they spent something like 12 hours one time getting from Miami / Ft Lauderdale to Tampa. Another time, they spent over a day getting out of FL into #GA, only to find that there were no places in southern GA with space available ... I think they wound up going to #MS to avoid the storm.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

But 106F and humid (working in El Centro, #California, one year) and 96F and much more humid (working in #Mississippi one year) felt even worse. The awful thing about #MS was that the local people I worked with said it was the coolest Summer in thirty years, while I wondered how people could live there.

Inside temperature is 96F / 36C.
Slightly hotter than some parts of Sacramento #CA, but lower than Phoenix #AZ. Some clouds rolling in, so maybe we’ll have some overcast ... or maybe even a little rain.
We have not yet had the traditional August rainstorm. (Cools things off that day, but then the next day or two return to full heat, only now they have humidity that feels akin to parts of #LA or #MS.)In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

I attended California public schools. At that time, CA schools were 47th out of the 50 states. As a result, in times like this, I expect everyone who did not live in Mississippi to have received a better education than I did.

When I was working in #MS, nearly every Euro-American I talked to would realize by my non-Southern speech that I was not a resident. They'd day almost word for word "It's not like it was fifty yrars ago; give it a chance".
It was hard to do so when the courthouses had Confederate monuments with captions like "dedicated to the men who fought for our freedom" and the state flag (in a majority Black state) still had the Confederate battle flag in it.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

Actually, I do have an idea: The #NOAA / #NWS / #SPC Storm Prediction Center has sent out #tornado watches in parts of #MS, #AL, #TN, AR, #LA ... so their alerts in Georgia are probably an extension of the same severe #t-storm system. S probably means that an EF4 tornado is possible.
