I'm not surprised as intense as that particular portion of the storm
front looked from here.  That also is the track the two previous tornado
warnings in Nebraska were on.  The lighting from that portion of the
storm was intense will multiple ground strokes.  Until my power went
off, I didn't see that any tornado warning was issued for MS county.

Fortunately for me, the cell stopped producing ground strokes a ways
north of here as the complex had weakened some by 10:30.  That didn't
spare me the wind damage, though.  The tree debris and other mess has
been cleaned up and the 80/160m doublet is back in place.  Just lost a
dog bone insulator out of the deal.

BTW, congrats on your new call!

73, Nate
