    The picture of a George County dog set on fire is disturbing. Authorities say the circumstances surrounding how fire consumed the dog are shocking. According to George County Sheriff Dean Howell, 20-year-old
    Socks, the dog reportedly burned this week by his owner, has died.

BILOXI, MS (WLOX) -

All those gifts Santa left under Christmas trees are being ripped open this morning.  And families are gathering together to celebrate the holidays.  From the staff and management at WLOX, we wish you a very Merry Christmas.

In Gulfport, volunteers are postponing their celebrations to help the less fortunate.  They're at the Lyman Community Center preparing more than 2,000 hot meals for neighbors who would otherwise miss out on a Christmas bite to eat.

As you wake up on this Christmas morning, you'll see puddles outside.  And according to WLOX meteorologists, they're a precursor to what's forecast later today.

Nasty weather, including a chance of strong tornadoes and howling thunderstorms, is possible along the Gulf Coast.
