Just want to thank everyone in this thread for the info. I am sitting here alone, terrified and this thread has been keeping me sane. Anxiety is high and I'm so tired, but y'all have helped SO much. (Also, first post! )

You're gonna do fine, just have a plan and stick with it!

The one closest to the radar looks pretty strong.

So many Easter 2020 comparisons; do we add relative Alabama lull and then major increase in nastiness in Georgia to those similarities? Hope not

Think that's a TDS JUST south of the radar site near the Calera Walmart. BMX says 150kt G2G.

When chatting with @buckeye05, he noted how this event seems similar in that aspect.

Nevermind, there's no thinking, large tornado down.

150kt???!! Wow! That's like 170mph.

Need to watch Valley Grande. Notable couplet now.

South of Maplesville and Billingsley, that tail end storm is getting very interesting
Edit - haha yeah that

 

[TheSuckZone]

That might be on top of the radar

 

[Zabwxaj]

Are these two about to rotate around each other? Clear northward movement on the east TDS.

Welcome Nyte. Glad you are here and that you are being helped by what is being discussed. Remember it is important to be prepared. Try not to be scared. If you know what to do in the event one comes your way, that is the most important thing. Keeping an eye here will help you to see where they are and if you are affected. The group of individuals here from those who are Weather Enthusiasts like myself to the Meteorologists who take part, they are very knowledgeable and can help you see even when the skies are dark.
