Excuse me, I look away for a few and there are suddenly 400 supercells in Alabama?

Can't be that far south, that's Jefferson county

There’s another Pleasant Grove in North AL

Weird the sirens in Southern Huntsville went off for one round then ended. Kinda curious why they have such a big lead time but kill the sirens early?

Is it a regional/ municipal difference? Where I grew up, the sirens went off to alert you, but didn't stay on for the duration of the warning. Where I went to college, the sirens stayed on for the duration of the warning.

I just brought them back to down to earth.

They go off for around 3 minutes? Usually standard practice to run alert mode (or sometimes wail) for 3-5 minutes per warning.

Yeah that's about right. They just turned on again, spoke too soon I guess. Not sure why there was such a huge gap

Usually they have to turn off the sirens so they don't overheat if they're using traditional air raid sirens, so they keep them on only for a few minutes before needing to turn them off and let them cool off. After a few more minutes they can turn it back on and repeat if they want.

Y'all okay?

We’re good! It came right over us, and started wrapping up as it passed

My EX-wife was with Marshall Co. (AL) EMA and they were set off by radio. If someone keyed a mic it could have given it a stop. They can also talk across them (I miss the Arsenal BIG VOICE)

They run on a cycle of just a few minutes. They have the option of doing a manual re-sound if they want to.

Storm near the Alabama Georgia border is strengthening a lot. Currently a tornado warning on it

Source, and is it "roofs removed" or homes actually completely leveled?
