I can't believe they are not covering the Jeff Cty storm right now on 33/40.

About half an hour ago, watched the Blount County storm go over the hill behind my house. We're all OK.

Along with what Tyler said about the scary looking RUC, the forecasted hodograph is now taking a right curve for the general Atlanta area per TwisterData.
