Gibson RidgeThis weekend’s severe weather outbreak across the eastern United States claimed nine lives and caused damage from the Deep South to New England. Two of those tornadoes touched down within a few miles of a weather radar in Mississippi, giving us an incredible view of how quickly an intense tornado can develop. Only 58 percent of all tornadoes that touched down in the United States in 2017 developed within a tornado warning. It’s smart to stay proactive when severe weather is on the way instead of waiting for it to show up at your doorstep. As for the weather radar itself, it's doing just fine.
