Tornado devastates Tupelo

A tornado caused extensive damage in the north part of Tupelo Monday afternoon.

Residential areas along North Gloster Street, Green Street and the Lakeshire subdivision were hit, and two gas stations were reportedly destroyed.

"Obviously there has been storm damage. It's a very serious situation," Tupelo Mayor Jason Shelton said. "I am just encouraging everyone to stay inside and be weather aware. There is still a very real danger of another line coming through and people still need to be inside."

Shelton said he has heard reports of extensive damage along the busy North Gloster Street thoroughfare that connects downtown to the shopping district but said he hasn't had a chance to survey the damage yet. He has been at Fire Station No. 1 downtown where the county emergency management team has set up its headquarters.

A long-time, popular restaurant — Vanelli's — was destroyed. Vanelli's is a Greek and Italian restaurant that first opened in 1975.

An Outback restaurant reportedly also was destroyed. It is located near the Barnes Crossing in north Tupelo.

Comfort Suites, located just across Gloster from Vanelli's took extensive damage.

Ik denk trouwens dat het later begonnen is en het tot dusver relatief rustig is geweest door de lange en koude winter

The quiet start to the year is no guarantee that the rest of the season will be quiet, especially considering that tornado season typically peaks in May and June. It is a function of the weather pattern that has dominated the lower 48 states since the fall, with a deep dip, or trough, in the jet stream across the Midwest and East, and a ridge of high pressure off the West Coast. The trough brought colder than usual temperatures and above-average snowfall to the East, while the ridge kept the West warmer and drier than average.
