We had one tornado that tracked about 250 miles through four states. we dont know if it was on the ground the entire time or not. it looks to be one of the most significant tornadoes weve had in this country in a long time. i did get someone asking me, with the storm itself, we had the first warning at 5:50, ali. the tornado warning in mayfield went up at 9:05 and the tornado emergency was at 9:27 and the tornado struck at 9:30. so they did know they were in a tornado warning and they only had a...
