Tornado Warning (Includes Huntsville)




Also got a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Cullman County - I'd consider going to a reasonable place of shelter for that too. Definitely for this Tornado Warning though because a funnel cloud has been reported by spotters near Elkmont.  

BTW that new severe thunderstorm warning that includes Cullman, the severe winds were confirmed and several areas of rotation have shown up within even this part of the line at times. 



12:22 AM - Tornado Warnings now include Fayetteville and Lynchburg. 

Some of that was actually issued with the Huntsville warning I see now. But Lincoln, Moore, and Franklin Counties are all included in a Tornado Warning now. 

Need to be in a small central room on lowest floor of a sturdy house (not mobile home), away from windows, and cover your body as best you can, especially your head. 

12:30 - Triana in Madison County reported wind gust of 75 mph. 

And there continue to be reports of damage with this line here and there, worth noting at night. Most to trees and power lines.

Severe T'Storm Warning (Tornado Possible)

It ain't over till it's over with these events.  I would probably go ahead and shelter for this one since it has shown some rotation...
