New Tornado Warning

 7:06 PM - A lot is going on. I'm going to post as many updates as possible here until things calm down or if something in another part of area makes it necessary to start a new post . . . 

7:05 PM Radar: There are two tornado warnings moving across our area, one confirmed by radar north of Gurley and another that looks like it could produce a tornado any minute if it isn’t already north of Priceville. Seek shelter if in a tornado warning! pic.twitter.com/3zAYOzuWbk

Uh, yeah . . . what they said. 

7:12 PM - Here are our two Tornado Warning polygons. Stay sheltered in either one. Someone I know who sort of had a close call with one of the tornadoes reported to me that a tree was snapped off in the front yard. I'll pass that along to NWS later, right now the priority is being glad people are okay. 

7:15 - This tornado tracking up towards Skyline is showing a fairly significant debris signature. The National Weather Service in Huntsville advises that considerable damage is possible with this one. 

7:20 - This southernmost storm, I'd still take shelter and assume that we have a tornado here. It looks like it on radar, and it's getting dark, plus a lot of our tornadoes are wrapped in rain. It doesn't take a big tornado that produces great video or a debris signature to really hurt somebody if they are caught without shelter. So take this one seriously too. 

Making a new post for Scottsboro.
