    There will be more activity for a while tonight going into Alabama.

    It's not the all out outbreak that we sometimes get. But it's got enough to be a storm day for many people.

    That tornado in Ruston, LA last night passed i20 about a mile in front of us. My phone popped a warning and woke me up, my wife said "look at the pretty green sky", and there it was. Dropped a couple dumpsters on the interstate and debris everywhere.

    Enjoy a crappy cell phone picture of the aftermath:

    Two of your townsfolk were killed by the storm. Ruston took a direct hit.

    Yeah I saw that, there's some pictures now that the sun came up of some pretty severe destruction.

    I'm from Texas though, we were running a load over to Alabama. About to head back through that crap, but I'll probably go through Memphis/Arkansas instead. Same mileage.
