tupelo. >> you've been in these situations many, many times before, brett. what does your gut instinct tell you about where this storm is going and what is going to half this evening? >> well, i'll be honest with you, we were just ahead of the mayflower tornado and we think the conditions are much more ripe today for tornadoes than yesterday. >> brett, what do you hear about the condition of tupelo where the storm -- where that tornado touched down. >> when a tornado hits a big town, the information is going to flow pretty quickly. it's obama about 20 minutes ago and what i do know is that it did go from the northern section of town and my colleagues say there's fairly significant damage. other than that, we don't have a whole lot of information yet.
