Pretty sure that pic was from Parkersburg, IA.

Yep, that was from Parkersburg. And it doesn't even show EF5 damage. I have no idea what people hope to get out of sharing fake photos like that. Today has been bad enough, no need to pretend it's worse than it is.

Oh noooo. Most violent severe weather day since 4/27/11 for AL?

Deadliest, yes. Most violent, hard to say until the ratings come in. But definitely up there with 4/28/2014.

This popped up on my FB memories feed. 7 years ago today. Crazy we had an outbreak on the same day.

Actually, the outbreak occurred on March 2, 2012. That was the same day as the Henryville, Indiana EF4. This person happened to upload the photo on March 3rd, 2012.

Mariana, Florida needs to watch out for a confirmed tornado per NWS Tallahassee.

 

[Bamamuscle]

Ahhh good catch. I uploaded it the day after someone sent it to me. Tornado went about 1 mile north of my house.

Tornado Warning for Columbia, SC.

Got some right movers down in Florida

Tornado warned storm now for the same areas just northeast of Panama City, Florida affected by the eye of Hurricane Michael.

There have been more fatalities from tornadoes today than there was all of last year combined. So sad and scary. Just crazy how a violent tornado outbreak can claim dozens of lives.

Looks like another TOG southwest of Marianna, Florida. Not nearly as violent as the last few but still worth keeping a very close eye on, since it looks like it's going to be a direct hit.

Is that a TDS approaching Columbia, SC? Worth noting the radar is scanning below 700' here.

Looks like a debris ball on radar scope but not sure.

Looks like a debris signature to me... very very bad place for that

For sure, in fact most of the deaths on 4/27/2011 were caused by just five tornadoes (Hackleburg/Phil Campbell, Tuscaloosa, Rainsville, Smithville, and Ohatchee/Piedmont). The Hackleburg/Phil Campbell tornado alone caused more deaths than an average year, and didn't even hit any major cities (to my knowledge the biggest town it hit was Tanner).
