📍Mississippi

🌪️ Primary threats include:
• A couple of tornadoes possible
• Scattered damaging wind gusts up to 65 mph

‼️FROST QUAKES POSSIBLE TONIGHT🥶

If you’re hearing sudden booms, cracks, or “explosion-like” pops overnight, it likely is the result of FROST QUAKES — also called cryoseisms (and sometimes ice quakes).

This can happen when an intense blast of cold air moves in fast and freezes water in the soil almost instantly. As that groundwater turns to ice, it expands and can force the ground/rock to crack with a loud bang.

There were many reports from the highlighted area last night, because of the brutally frigid air causing rapid freezing of groundwater.

Most of the time it’s just noise, but brief, localized shaking can occasionally be felt — and it’s often more likely when the ground is wet and there isn’t much insulating snow cover.
