The threat of nighttime tornadoes is especially concerning, something Jonathan Petramala mentioned in his report from Port Gibson, Miss.

Tornadoes that happen in the dark are twice as likely to be deadly. Overnight tornadoes are particularly deadly because people have trouble receiving warnings and getting to shelter at night, particularly in states with high proportions of mobile homes.

It's also harder to see tornadoes at night unless they are lit by lightning. With the potential for strong overnight tornadoes, you'll want to make sure your alerts are turned up loud!
