Everybody needs to take shelter for this one basically countywide. Confirmed large hail and some power outages from this storm earlier.
1:17 PM - Walker County has been placed under a warning too.
Actually looks like the Northeast corner of Walker County. Main part of storm moving into city of Cullman now.
1:23 - Looks like worst winds may be down around Dodge City or Bremen, but everyone in this warning polygon needs to stay sheltered for now.
1:28 - We now have a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Blount and Northern Jefferson Counties from this same storm. Remember, it has a history of producing quarter-sized hail and winds strong enough to knock out power in several places across Winston County earlier.
Moving through Hanceville now . . .
1:36 - As of about ten minutes ago, Walker County 911 is reporting some trees down on Walston Bridge Road in Manchester.
1:39 - Okay, and that wind report you see superimposed on the radar image near Smoke Rise is of some trees down and a roof blown off a home. So these winds continue to be dangerous. Need to be in a small central room or hallway on the lowest floor of a sturdy house if in the path of these. Try not to get caught in a mobile home ahead of these storms, since trailers are a lot more vulnerable to severe thunderstorm winds.
1:43 - Storm is clearly into Blount County now, and out of Walker and Cullman Counties.
1:45 - Cullman, Lawrence, and Morgan Counties have been cancelled out of the Tornado Watch.
1:48 - Warning extended into Etowah and St. Clair Counties like last time. But remember we've had confirmed damage from emergency management with this storm earlier.
2:02 PM - And that damaging storm is moving through Eastern Blount and Southern Etowah Counties.
2:30 - Seeing reports of trees down in Winston, Walker, Blount, and Jefferson Counties from the storms earlier.
Severe weather threat appears to have shifted into Central and South Alabama, so will discontinue coverage on this blog now.
