    The Nashville/Mt. Juliet tornado is likely EF3 minimum based on multiple nearly completely destroyed structures. The completely destroyed homes in Mt. Juliet may warrant an upgrade, pending structural review.

    KNIP (NAS Jacksonville, FL) measured a gust to 66kt with this line a bit ago. I used to do obs & forecasting there and that had to do some heavy tree damage on the opposite side of the St. Johns River for sure. .

    NAM is really banking on all mixed precip, looks mostly sleet, for STL, hence the crash in totals.

    KC Int'l closed earlier this morning and closed until noon, for now. I was inbound from STL to connect and go on to SAN and we got diverted back and then cancelled.

    Once the hail threat diminished some, that momentum really brought the wind to Smyrna, Walter Hill, and northern Murfreesboro. My folks took some tree damage and there were numerous snapped and uprooted trees near the Siegel schools and the VA Medical Center.

    And DFW Airport is in the direct path of this exploding storm. Looks like American is about to get some newly dented planes.

    HSV gusted to 61kts.

    Ardmore cell producing again, confirmed near Huntland in Jackson County and will pass less than 5 miles north of the Hytop (HTX) radar.

    Damage confirmed to the AL welcome center on I-65.

    Tornado confirmed near Ardmore.

    Apparently a confirmed tornado near Falkville & Lacon in southern Morgan County.

    There are zero chasers on live stream on that cell about to cross I-65 near Ardmore.

    TDS near Lester, headed directly at Ardmore and the I-65 welcome center for Alabama.
  14. Calderon
    Yep, but thinking this cluster just to the south is keeping it at bay for now.

    Tornado confirmed to have gone through Russellville, AL.

    New video has been posted of the the monsterous north Alabama EF-5 as it passed near Hackleburg and Phil Campbell. This home was on the very edge of the path and winds I'd say are easily in the 80-100mph range. The sound is incredible and the motion of the funnel for a tornado nearly a mile wide is absolutely astounding.

    I was going to say the same thing

    I'm having a hard time believing that hose pic. Being propelled at such a high velocity, one would expect it to look ragged or torn from going into a tree and it just doesn't seem to be at all. Not to mention I have a hard time believing a hose could be strung out perfectly to drive straight into a hardwood tree's trunk.

    4/27 was a Wednesday and the higher populated sections of the Tuscaloosa-B'ham tornado path was a good mix of homes and apartments

    There is the possibility that the Hackleburg tornado is the same one that hit Smithville, MS, we shall see what HUN finds.

    That poor town can't ever catch a break. A F5 and F4 the same day, now a probable EF5 takes em out, again.

    A very large tornado in Athens, AL (Limestone County), this is the same storm that has pretty much obliterated Tanner from survey reports.
  23. Calderon
    I like how BMX has a status update chart on the damage surveys in their CWA. Of note that Tuscaloosa and JeffCo will take several days. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/bmx/?n=event_04272011_surveystatus

    This "what if" talk is starting to get old, honestly.
