Do folks really keep helmets on hand?

Hell yes we do. I have my helmet right beside me.

oh my god.

DISCUSSION...An intense tornadic supercell located over Hale County will likely remain unimpeded as it moves to the east-northeast across central AL during the next 1-2 hours. The near-storm environment is currently primed across central AL with 0-1 km SRH at 600 m2/s2 per observed storm motion according to the KBMX VAD. Given the very moist/strongly sheared environment, expecting a long-track intense (EF3+) and potentially violent tornado to continue east-northeast and reach the I-65 corridor over the next hour or so.

Not much change with SPC's 2000 OTLK -- only real major change was removal of the 45% contour on the wind map

The high risk contracts and ends at the Miss-AL border.

I suspected it might be something like that, but still was surprised to see it in a warning.

It reads to me like a warning saying “Locations impacted include A, B, C, Walmart Distribution Center, D, E, F, Cabela’s, X, Y, Z.”

It’s bigger than most cities. Thousands of employees. I would not compare it to a Walmart Distro.

* Locations impacted include...
  Brent, Centreville, Moundville, Lake View, Brookwood, Coaling,
  Vance, Woodstock, West Blocton, Tannehill Ironworks State Park, Low
  Gap, Mertz, Mercedes Benz Of Alabama, Eoline, North Bibb, Maxwell,
  Hull, Hagler, Green Pond and Pearson

A car dealer makes the list of “locations impacted.” Don’t think I’ve seen that before.

All of these cities and towns are in danger. Oh, and so is the Mercedes dealership.

That’s not a car dealership. It’s one of the largest auto plants in the world.
