The wider storm
A potent storm system for early Fall impacted the region and a line of showers and thunderstorms moved through the ArkLaMiss region ahead of a cold front. A rare combination of instability and wind shear was in place and storms produced tornadoes, along with damaging winds.
Began near Rocky Hill (32.4399, -90.1998).
