Update: CNN reporting another twister has now touched down in Alabama
A twister has touched down in Tupelo, Mississippi. The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch for portions of northwest Mississippi and Alabama until mid-afternoon today.
A tornado swept through parts of Tupelo, Mississippi, on Thursday, damaging trees, power lines and overturning a 18-wheel truck, a law enforcement official told CNN.
"Just a little earlier this morning, we began to get reports of damage starting from the west side of Tupelo," said Chief Deputy John Hall of the Lee County Sheriff's Department.
Hall said the storm moved north across the city to the the Mall at Barnes Crossing. Near there, on U.S. Highway 45, an 18-wheel truck was overturned, he said.
There were no reports of injuries.
