Sadly, there is one confirmed report of a fatality in Franklin County, Tennessee. Details are unclear as of now but local media outlets are reporting that a man was pinned under a mobile home in Estill Springs, TN. This storm system has caused a very wide swath of significant damage through many states. There are multiple reports of tornadoes, winds in excess of 85mph, and hail to the size of baseballs. A good reminder to practice severe weather safety procedures when warnings are issued. Unfortunately, the threat from the same system continues in the Southeast. A large squall line is moving through the Atlanta metro area now which has shut down the Atlanta airport (the busiest airport in the world) causing major flight delays. It has been a very busy weather week for many parts of the country with almost 625 reports of severe weather since Sunday (as of 5:30pm CDT). The weather will settle down a bit for the remainder of the week with no major storms for the next week. Some strong storms will be possible late in the week for TX, OK, AR, and LA. This system will spread through many of the same areas as the last two events. Stay tuned for further details
