And to think we had people brushing off this event....

Yes, and although the event is far from over, I think we actually avoided some of the potential worse case scenarios thus far. Sadly we've already had 3 fatalities, and by no means am I minimizing those, but a bit more instability and a miniscule change of a couple of parameters and we'd probably be blanketed with tornado warnings right now.

This definitely hasn't been a Forecasted Convective Amplification Deficiency or low-end event. It should remind us all how quickly a system can cause fatalities here in Alabama. My power is flickering. Won't be shocked if I lose it for the evening.

Definite couplet moving through Graysville and Cardiff.

Yep. That's the earlier warned area that sparked a tornado warning when it entered Jefferson County.

I think we're about to see the cells within the line start to rotate more consistently. Going to be a a long afternoon for the Eastern half of the state of Alabama. May see an increasing number of TOR warnings over the next several hours.
 
Lost a tremendous amount of respect for a couple seasoned TV meteorologists in Birmingham in the way they handled this event in the days leading up to it. Not going to name any names...
