any links to live air shots over AL?

here is one from spalding county GA

http://www.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=stream3&hpt=T1

death toll now 194

AP: death toll now 64

dewpoints are now in the upper 60's to low 70's over NC and VA

many TOR warned dsicrete storms moving into these areas

see ya in the SE forum

Are there any reports from Birmingham yet?

Haven't heard too much about it.

yes major damage just north of downtown on the extreme north side of the city north burbs got hit hard ..deaths in Pleasant groove

once again the storms this morning knocked power out to many people in AL..they had tornaodes and very highe winds about 5-7am

they had no power or access to TV and NOAA weather radio was down in some locations

and the internet

also i assume the sirens won't work if no power

death toll now 40 in AL alone

I know that the got rid of the report filter....but to see N. AL colored in red is yet another thing that goes beyond words today

I don't think tornado reports ever had a filter only wind and hail did..of course many are from the same tornado

again you have to add the 61(that will increase) from yesterday afternoon.evening and the early morning hours before 12z

I think a poster said that this could be counted as a two day outbreak due to less than 6 hours between tornado touchdowns which means we could be seeing 179 reports of tornado touchdowns

yes same outbreak

there was only like an hour between reports starting in texas yesterday(12z to 13z this morning)..and many more that were entered as wind reports that said possible tornado last night

5 fatalities in MS this afternoon

3 last night

So far in all the Youtube's I've looked at of the Tuscaloosa & Birmingham tornadoes I haven't heard a single tornado siren

power may have been out

storms in the morning did tons of damage

Tuscaloosa video....wowo http://vimeo.com/22970879

looks like ther andover KS tornado when it was moving into that subdivsion

uh, is BMX going to ditch the office and take cover?

looks like it gor disrupted,,good news

large dangerous Tornado will affect south BHM metro

it is a 1/2 mile wide

hopefully those storms will disrupt it

The TUS/BHM cell is really ramping up again

In an event like this, deaths are inevitable. Some people can't heed the warnings because they live in a mobile home and dont have any mobility. Others are just unlikely - debris can blow into a basement and trap/kill an occupant.

Think about all the places hit today...

Tuscaloosa

Huntsville

N Birmingham

Newton

Hackelburg

Phil Campbell

Add to this list pls...

cullman ,,,,the first live tornado

Jasper TN

intense couplet heading for the city

It's a mile wide wedge, it takes a lot longer then just a few minutes for one to cycle, Birmingham is screwed.

no its not...it will go north of the city and the north side isn;t that populated not near as the south side ..another 2-3 miles south would be a complete disaster

but decent size towns in its path

BHM storm may be truning very tad right not good North side of BHM along and north of the interstate looks to be in trouble

FYI supercells developing over NC and VA too

may stay just north of BHM city
