A Tornado Warning is now in effect until 10:15 PM CST for northwestern Monroe County and east-central Clarke County .

Radar is picking up clear signs of rotation , and this storm could produce flying debris, roof damage, shattered windows, and significant harm to vehicles and mobile homes. Tree damage is also highly likely.
Now, if you’re in the warned area, do not wait for visual confirmation of a tornado —especially at night, when they’re nearly impossible to see. Seek shelter immediately . Move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building and stay away from windows. If you're in a mobile home or outside, find a safer structure as soon as possible. Tornadoes can form quickly and without much warning, so every second counts.
Thankfully, this storm is expected to pass mainly over rural areas, but that does not mean anyone should take this lightly. Even if you are not directly in the warning zone, remain alert, as conditions can change rapidly.
