do you have the break down between regions? i thought the earlier 263 didn't really add up becuase there were "only" 35-45 in the Tucs/BHM tornado(where were all the others)..that was until that report of 147 victims in the Northern AL Tornado

wow..this got deeper(more north) into the city then I thought. Thanks for taking the time to do that

because its my freaking house that's why. I own it and the ground..I don't need you or the government telling me if a need a freaking safe room in my own house becuase of some freak event. In you are talking about an apartment that you own and rent to other people..then perhaps ..earthqaukes are common in CA and affect a large area... getting hit by an EF4+ tornado is very very low This kind of stuff really irritates me... this is all I am going to say in this thread about this matter....unless we have a spin off thread for it

no thanks...if i don't want to build a safe room or shelter in my house then i shouldn't have too....

wow thats in the north part of the state too..not the Tucs/BHM monster

first air shots from Tucscaloosa look at thr 1 min mark..I count 12 muilti unit apartment complexes completely destroyed...perhaps student housing or the housing project http://www.abc3340.c...&autoStart=true 3:28 interesting too.... large slabs only perhaps a commerical area

Tuscaloosa hospital treated more than 600 patients, and about 100 had to be admitted. some off campus housing at the University destroyed, students missing

listening to WHNT out of Hunstville, they just said that another 36 found dead in Tuscaloosa not included in the state numbers yet....so maybe it is true afterall http://www.whnt.com/

update Per twitter, 35 have been found dead in the Rosedale housing project, so far. These ARE NOT included in the Official numbers yet. <BR clear=all>

twitter @tuscaloosa tornado that EMS has reached decimated area east of Rosedale housing projects. "Dozens of bodies" are in the streets and have asked for a cold storage unit from the State. THIS IS NOT the same request that we heard from for the mobile morgue last night...that was on the GA AL line. Weather channel reporter is in the middle of a debris field...said he could hear moans coming from rubble, with no organized rescue within site. HVY equipment needed for extraction but the area is just too damaged.

CNN just showed clear EF5 damage I think...many bare slabs in the air shot

Pratt city and pleastant grove look at least EF3.. as i mentioned when it was happening at least it didn't go 2 miles more south..through the heart of BHM but still...

CNN now saying 230+ dead If true, there is a shot we could over the superoutbreak death toll

hard to tell the difference at times becuase one can argue a slower moving tornado has more time to sweep the pile of rubble away then the same tornado moving faster EF4=only a pile of rubble left EF5= nothing at all

listening to various soruces in AL and GA..... they still haven't got to alot of areas yet..will be looking for people for days bringing in special search teams

CNN/FOX spending most of their time on the Royal wedding with only blips about the tornadoes

but in this case it was cleary an F4+ by looking at particle motion and large debris all over being thrown out

most of us were watching Spann on ABC but here is CBS stations live report of the Tornado http://www.cbs42.com/content/localnews/story/Tuscaloosa-tornado-caught-on-tape-wreaking-havoc/hsK7dFmlUku5YlvteTFy6A.cspx

live air shots Catoosa county GA http://www.cnn.com/v...=stream3&hpt=T1

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

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
