It's a VDOT traffic cam so you cannot blame it on NBC4 DC

I'm reading several EMT reports of damage in Arlington and DC on Twitter.

New Tornado Warning for Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties until 1:45PM. The southernmost cell just passed over my place and it had a rain-free base with a lowering and wind gust of 50 mph suddenly

For once in my lifetime, the Atlanta TV news operations are covering their 2 eastern Alabama counties within their TV market area for severe weather. All of the Atlanta TV stations are covering this major supercell with a TDS on NWS radar

I fear this might be a widespread severe weather event across the Southeast region tonight. Storms are forming ahead of the core severe forecasted area tonight into overnight hours

Also a Tornado warned storm along I-85 in the northern Cherokee County, South Carolina and Southern Cleveland County, North Carolina into the Greater Charlotte area. There are kinks that are S-shaped in the line that might cause a QLCS-spin up tornado as it heads towards Charlotte.

The tornado was caught by WVTM 13 and ABC 33/40 by both of their respective tower cameras on live TV. It's climbing along the Double Oak Mountain area of the Northern Shelby County

It's is but there's been more urbanized area growth south AL 119 since 2010. There's a large commercial retail area, multifamily residential developments, and office parks south of 119 in Inverness and Brook Highland.

I'm from Birmingham. That's a highly populated area that is being hit right now. Northern Shelby County has nearly 200,000 people. It's following the Cahaba Valley Road corridor (AL 119) headed towards to Inverness part of Hoover and Brook Highland neighborhood of the City of Birmingham.

There's a tornado on the ground in Helena and it's going to be head towards the Riverchase part of Hoover and Pelham.

Blame that on Congress... Charlotte has been lobbying for a closer NWS radar station for nearly 2 decades now... It's the largest urbanized region (3M+ residents) in the nation without a NWS radar site within 70 miles of its location.

I think you mean Clanton. Yeah, a late close friend of mine and I went there to the Peach Park about 3 years ago. It's a very nice spot to go for fresh peaches, peach cobbler, and homemade peach-flavor ice cream. Greater Birmingham has been hammered by this outbreak today
