There was some rotation in that storm inside the Severe Thunderstorm warning area. It was only radar indicated. That is why only a Thunderstorm Warning was issued. It isn't enough to issue a Tornado warning out of it.
 
Wind is absolutely screaming out of the SSW in Birmingham, AL. Has to be sustained 15-25. I can only imagine what it’s like a few thousand feet up.
 
WHNT reported Tennis ball Size hail in Limestone County. The Storm though is starting to dissipate. Does anyone have contacts in LImestone that can verify the Hail report?
 
So, was this nasty little storm I experienced in Limestone Co. just a prelude to what's to come later? I'm confused.
 
Looks like the severe warned storm near Lawrenceburg TN may have potentially had a TOR. Rotation was well defined, had a hook on reflectivity, and popped up a bit on CC as well.

Edit: The one to the southeast looks a bit nasty now as well.

There was cloud rotation, but I do not think anything came to the ground. The rotation wasn't that impressive. That is why the kept it as a Severe Thunderstorm Warning and didn't upgrade it.
 
Major CC drop right over Mathison, MS; spun up in only a couple frames
 
And the tornado watch has been extended to include Lauderdale, Colbert, Limestone and Madison Counties until 3am.
