Line hasn't hit me yet... I am on the GA side of the AL/GA border.

Clancy always beats me to the punch when I post new info.... so I give him crap about it. He laughs. I laugh. The toaster laughs. I shoot the toaster. You know... ha

Not the toaster!

Morning. Sorry for just disappearing last night. Power went off so I just went to sleep. I see Huntsville NWS did confirm a small tornado hit downtown Athens, AL. Considering the potential this line had for violence, I think Alabama came out pretty OK. (Of course, I haven't seen everything yet.)

I just read 3 tornadoes hit, at least that is what is known so far. Near Montgomery, Athens, and that place that had a warning last night Im tired and forgot the name even though I live in Alabama and after watching weather coverage forever I should have them all memorized

 

[MoonBaby]

even saying that, we still got very lucky considering what was possible

Trey mentioned lapse rates not being the best, I wonder.,,

Definitely going to move to #3 past 2008 for confirmed tornadoes in a year.

Already the port Arthur tornado has been rated a high end EF3…

Surprising

Already the port Arthur tornado has been rated a high end EF3…

Surprising

I haven’t seen any damage from this outbreak thus far that would lead me to believe anything higher than low end EF3, so that is very surprising. Considering the strength of the velocities on that storm though, it makes sense

Practically perfect probs from yesterday. Good forecast from SPC.

EF-1 confirmed in Athens, AL per NWS Huntsville.

NWS Jackson

I'm guessing from NWSchat cause they haven’t made an official statement on social media yet.

Am I right??

New from Houston. 2 EF3s so far.
