  1. From the TN valley thread: confirmed TOG in Polk County, TN

    At 1013 PM EDT, a confirmed tornado was located 8 miles southeast of
    Benton, moving northeast at 65 mph.
    
    HAZARD...Damaging tornado.
    
    SOURCE...Law enforcement confirmed tornado.
    
    IMPACT...Flying debris will be dangerous to those caught without
             shelter. Mobile homes will be damaged or destroyed. Damage

    To repeat, a tornado is on the ground. TAKE COVER NOW! Move to a

    building. Avoid windows. If you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in
    a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect
    yourself from flying debris.
    
    Torrential rainfall is occurring with this storm, and may lead to
    flash flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways.

    Fortunately there's not a whole lot between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham on the track it's on. If it gets to Birmingham however...

    A chaser got in and was able to see the damage. Looked almost certainly EF-4 damage there, but I honestly think it could have been an EF-5

    Would be first EF5 since the Moore, OK tornado of 2013. Feels like that was another century...
