If you want the latest, I can fetch current news for you. Tell me:
- Do you want a quick update (headline + timestamp) or a deeper briefing with damage photos and NWS statements?
- Should I focus specifically on Columbia city area or Boone County more broadly?
Would you like me to search for the latest now and provide direct links to official sources (National Weather Service, local TV news, and Boone County/Emergency Management)? I can also set up a brief recap of any confirmed tornado touchdowns, warnings in effect, and safety guidance for residents in Grapevine, TX if you’re monitoring multiple locations.
