14+ fatalities confirmed with the two storms that directly hit Lee County, Alabama near Beauregard, Alabama.  The Sheriff's Department said it could be more deaths associated with the back to back tornadoes that hit the southern portion of the county.

An awful day, but a day to be remembered and learned from.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0156  
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
0736 PM CST SUN MAR 03 2019  
  
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF NORTHERN FLORIDA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA  
  
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 9...  
  
VALID 040136Z - 040330Z  
  
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 9 CONTINUES.  
  
SUMMARY...THE THREAT FOR A TORNADO AND LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS  
CONTINUES ACROSS LOCALLY-EXTENDED TORNADO WATCH 8 AND SOUTHERN  
PORTIONS OF TORNADO WATCH 9.  CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT A A NEW  
DOWNSTREAM WATCH WILL NOT BE NEEDED.  
  
DISCUSSION...A LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH EMBEDDED/TRANSIENT  
LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATIONS WAS LOCATED FROM COLQUITT COUNTY, GA SOUTH TO  
GULF COUNTY, FL AT 0130Z.  SEVERAL TDS SIGNATURES HAVE BEEN NOTED  
WITH CIRCULATIONS ALONG THIS LINE IN THE PAST TWO HOURS, AND A  
CONTINUED RISK FOR TORNADOES WILL EXIST THROUGH 03-04Z ACROSS THE  
EASTERN FL PANHANDLE/BIG BEND GIVEN 0-1 KM SRH IN EXCESS OF 300  
M2/S2.  AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES, THIS LINE OF STORMS WILL MOVE  
INTO AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE EARLIER MIXING HAS LOWERED DEW POINTS, AND  
INCREASING CINH SHOULD LEAD TO A WEAKENING TREND.  ALTHOUGH AN  
ISOLATED RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND POSSIBLY A BRIEF TORNADO WILL  
EXIST EAST AND SOUTH OF THE CURRENT WATCH AREAS, THE OVERALL TREND  
IS SUCH THAT A DOWNSTREAM WATCH IS NOT ANTICIPATED.

Unfortunately today's event is already the deadliest tornado outbreak since the April 27th-28th outbreak in 2014. I believe there were 34 deaths as a result of that event, though that outbreak covered a much larger region of the country. Of course it only takes one strong EF3+ tornado tracking through a residential area to have a significant number of fatalities. The toll in Lee County, Ala. alone stands at 22 and may rise further unfortunately. Datasets located here:
