Another damaging tornado is in progress further south, going to pass very close to Mount Vernon, AL.

Watching ABC 33/40, the radar shows the debris signature directly over Selma.

Sad to say this might be the most significant U.S. tornado since Mayfield. I don't think it will quite reach that level of violence and devastation, but by and large we got pretty lucky in 2022 with a relative lack of high-end tornado impacts directly to towns and cities. Today wasn't really the day I was expecting our luck to run out, but that's nature for you.

Edit: I momentarily forgot about Winterset in March, but that clipped the southern edge of town.

We had a storm roll in about an hour ago here in Columbus GA but we’ve been sitting with full sun for about 30 min now. DP has jumped from 62 to 65.

Head of NWS Birmingham is now heading towards Selma, that's not good.
