Tupelo, MS Tornado Warning

A friend of mine has a daughter attending a Carrie Underwood concert in Tupelo. They are under a tornado warning. I hope the venue is taking precautions. TVS just tripped SW of Tupelo in Lee Co., MS at 8:18.

8:45 - TVS tripped again east of Tupelo.... still no word..... either they are really enjoying the concert or their is no way to get a signal out of Tupelo
.

8:55 - Good news from the Carrie Underwood concert in Tupelo.... My friend's daughter who is there sent a text that said, "Chill out, we're still here and ok."
