Damaging Wind Reports from February 15 Event

Tried to mainly grab the ones for North Alabama and Southern Middle TN but included a few nearby, especially if they involved injuries like down in Hale County with what turned out to be a tornado. Noticed a tree fell on a home in Bankhead, Georgia from severe thunderstorm winds, and someone was killed by that. Considering what a widespread damaging wind even it was, with quite a few tornadoes in the mix as well, it's a wonder we didn't have more injury or loss of life. But when we lose people in these things, even if it's only one person, it's a tragic event for the people affected. So want to acknowledge that. 

And like I said leading up to this event, it can be important to take Severe Thunderstorm Warnings seriously and not always wait for an upgrade to a Tornado Warning. Most the damage here was from damaging straight-line winds. Including where we had that fatality over in Georgia.
