Severe WX April 19-20, 2020 Severe Weather Threat

[Pugii]

KEOX not updating since 11:12pm. Anyone experiencing the same? That line is extremely impressive. Big portion of my family on one side is from Pike County...Brundidge specifically.

Yup. Was just about to mention it here. Might have just been taken down?

Yeah the status page says the last update was 10 minutes ago.

TDS west of Geneva.

 

[Equus]

KEOX went down at a very unfortunate time

 

[Pugii]

Tornado warning now out just south of the KMOB radar site.

Wonder if the winds had anything to do with this?

 

[Equus]

I have to wonder if one of those cells ahead of the line hit it with lightning maybe, seems to have went down before the line reached it

KEOX has always seemed to be a cursed radar site for some odd reason.

At 11:30 pm I’m counting 5 active tor warnings in S. Alabama where the warm front has been positioned all day.

Circulation over Mobile Bay headed towards Point Clear. There were actually two a minute ago, but the northern one merged into the southern one.

 

[Equus]

I count five areas of rotation in Mobile/Baldwin. There was a TDS near Loxley. Some are headed for Mom's apartment in Foley...

 

[buckeye05]

Also was a TOG north of Loxey. Gone now though.

Over in SW Alabama it's the same. Rotations everywhere. Will not be shocked to see a number of confirmed tornadoes in Mobile/Baldwin and the Wiregrass come tomorrow morning. Small TDSs having been popping up all over the place.

 

[Bama Ravens]

The middle storm of the 3 tornado warned storms in Baldwin County is wrapped up tight.

 

[Evan]

Power outages quite heavy in SW Alabama.

[buckeye05]

Yet another one near Robertsdale, AL

 

[bwalk]

Historic Abbeville (Al) getting lit up with lightening strikes right now. Lots of antebellum homes there made of wood.

 

[Evan]

KTLH is down as well. Wonderful.

Maybe my memory is poor, but I seem to recall KEOX/KTLH both being down for severe wx events on several occasions.

 

[Evan]

Hmm...must be a data issue/outage with TAE as both KEOX and KTLH went out at the exact same time. That's very unfortunate.

 

[RollTide18]

KTLH is down as well. Wonderful.

Maybe my memory is poor, but I seem to recall KEOX/KTLH both being down for severe wx events on several occasions.

I believe KEOX was down for the Easter Outbreak
