NWS has Cancelled a Tornado Watch for Cullman, Limestone & Morgan Counties

BMX says that they think that everything is stable, and therefore think any further risk (i.e., second round) is confined to east/southeast portions of central Alabama.

 

[Kory]

Unfortunately, we've had a weather related fatiality in Alabama. People must take ALL modes of severe weather seriously. Making damaging wind/hail seem less serious because there is less of a tornado threat gets people killed....

Heed all warnings like you would a tornado warning.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Second wave has formed. They are hefty storms that are crossing the MS/AL, however they seem to be mostly elevated.

New MD says 95% chance of tornado watch issuance for central PA, western NY, western MD. (Doesn't include me, of course; I doubt we'll see more than some wind here)

I'm right at the edge of that tornado watch with 50/30 probs. Environment Canada has me under a severe thunderstorm watch and there has been some minor wind damage in the neighbourhood. I took the day off today since I wasn't feeling well, and man has the wind been screaming along at a couple of points today.

Shades of the Kinzua Viaduct tornado of 2003... a warned couplet within the line is about to pass close to Kane and Mount Jewett, PA.

 

[Equus]

And now Kinzua Bridge state park is in the warning text. Wow.

Canton, TX tornado has been upgraded to EF-4 (175-185 mph).

 

[Equus]

Wow, interesting. That's our second EF4 of the year. And it wasn't even the longer tracked and seemingly more covered of the two Canton area tornadoes.

 

[Shakespeare2016]

Canton, TX tornado has been upgraded to EF-4 (175-185 mph).

There were some areas left barren but there were no houses in that area.

NWS survey team determines that Northern Cullman County was affected by an EF-0 Tornado.

I'm not sure how many people were able to see the EF-4 since it was so rain-wrapped (partially because of the next cell, which wound up dropping the EF-2 and EF-3). I know I certainly wasn't.

TWENTY-SIX tornadoes confirmed just in the Jackson, MS CWA for the event on the 30th. That's amazing.
