golf ball size hail highway 43 close to tuscaloosa county high school

That thing is spinning like a top over Northport.

 

[Equus]

Locust Fork storm rotating hard, nasty inflow on it. That's the one that came over Jasper earlier

Tornado warning for that right now

I think that's the first BMX TOR of the day. Things really aren't getting going until they get north of here

 

[jmills]

Locust Fork storm definitely rotating indeed, nasty inflow on it

Warned

 

[Weatherphreak]

Oneonta needs to watch out. That storm looks mean

No outdoor sirens blasting here in southwestern Blount County, outside the polygon. I wonder if they've stopped sounding them across the whole county when only part of the county is affected.

Serious inflow notch on the Locust Fork storm.

 

[Jetstream]

Center of the Tuscaloosa storm just passed to my north. Definitely had broad rotation.

 

[Equus]

Damage being reported in White City, in Cullman County, NE of Hanceville; that's in the path of the couplet and reported funnel cloud. Roof torn off community center and several houses damaged by falling trees.

Cullman Today has photos... large trees snapped off and significant roof damage.

 

[KoD]

About the tightest couplet I've seen so far.. given distance from radar, no way to tell if it's surface based.

 

[TornadoFan]

Looks like it's really ramping up.

I'm also hearing that the White City volunteer fire department building was destroyed.

[Justin Hindman Hindy]

No correlation and it went threw the city, hopefully that’s a good sign bc based on velocity and radar it looked down

 

[Kory]

Confirmed tornado with the Blount County storm.

 

[MichelleH]

Tornado warning for Etowah/St. Clair for Blount Co. storm until 6:15 pm.

 

[TornadoFan]

The storm near Gardendale looks like it's starting to rotate.

 

[Equus]

Blount storm is on that last edge of 1,000j/kg CAPE and 400 m2/s2 ESRH (400 in sfc-1km too) so that's where the parameters are gonna be absolutely maximized

 

[bwalk]

The storm near Gardendale looks like it's starting to rotate.

I agree. It s trying to get its act together.
