After it was over with, I was outside checking for damages, and some elderly lady came up and said her husband was trapped. Grabbed the chainsaw and didn't stop cutting trees till rescue got there. I don't think my heart has ever beat faster then when hearing that guy yell for help. Im still rattled...

I can't tell you how many times I heard the local guys say "I've never seen anything like this". When they added, our radar can't measure the wind speed - it's too high; it got pretty damn real.

I was streaming Reed Timmer from when the Tornado first formed in Mississippi until he pulled off just east of Tuscaloosa. That son-gun got bigger between Tuscaloosa and Bham. On the radar, you could actually see the debris field inside the vortex.

This one looks like it may be the nastiest one yet.

It had to be bad. It's been bad here, and we've had minimal damage.

 

[zjcvols]

Still some storms in Georgia. Hope it stays east.

Knox County has been under 13 different tornado warnings today.

It's been crazy today.

Luckily it looks like the worst of this is going to stay to the south and east of the county. I think we're done other than rain.

looks like they're gonna hit the other side of the mountain, hope it stays that way.

yes. given the size of the tornado and how long it stayed on the ground (nearly from one side of the state to the other) and the number of populated areas it hit I'd be shocked if we don't pass 100.

I will say the weather people did a fantastic job of letting people know what was coming. They saved a ton of lives today.

Looks like it has more rotation for sure.

On a semi-related note, the weather channel's coverage of all of this is pretty damn impressive.

A fast food place in T-town

not sure where the safe place inside was...

 

[SGMVols]

The rear windshield of my car was destroyed by hail.

From what I've seen on the news, that puts me among the lucky ones.

Are you close to Eagles Landing subdivision off 193? I've heard there were several homes destroyed there.
