On January 29th, the Storm Prediction Center had issued a moderate risk for a big chunk of the mid-south with the primary threats being damaging winds and strong tornadoes. Numerous tornado watches were issued and most of the severe weather started Tuesday evening and ended Wednesday evening. All-in-all Tuesday had 324 reports (image, left) with most of those being damaging winds, although 13 tornado reports were recorded. One fatality occurred last night, as a man allegedly tried to take shelter in a shed and was killed. A deadly tornado stuck the town of Adairsville, Georgia this morning leaving at least one dead and several more injuries. The storm was embedded within a squall line and was moving extremely fast when it hit the town. Before this fatality today, the US had set a record for most days without a tornado-related fatality with 220 days, since records had been kept in 1950. Check out the INSANE video (below). This was a classic high shear/low instability
