Tornado on the ground. Thanks to Stephanie Abrams for the link ABC 33\/40 Main

This tornado is EPIC!

[toxictwister00]

That thing is a monster! I took some snapshots from the ustream link. In every picture it gets bigger and bigger.

[Donovan]

I cannot believe this outbreak! This is amazing how many tornadoes we have! 
I believe this guy has the Tuscaloosa tornado. http://www.severestudios.com/cgi-bin/player.pl?username=john.brown&uid=265

[Pop Light Brown]

And the video keeps freezing. I think it missed the U of Alabama campus....barely.

The Tuscaloosa tornado is officially a mile wide now.

[Localonthe8s]

THe tornado has gotten so big, that the skycam can't even zoom out anymore

[Pop Light Brown]

And it's going right up I-20/59. Look out Birmingham.

[Donovan]

The NWS Huntsville office had to evacuate!
Oh God Tuscaloosa might get hit AGAIN!

[TWCmatthew]

Look out and stay safe Tuscaloosa!

Yeah, a funnel cloud is forming right over Tuscaloosa, could form into another tornado shortly.

Everyone please pray that Tiffany is OK. She is in Tuscaloosa and we have reports that Tuscaloosa has been wiped off the map.

[Donovan]

Tornado Emergency for Birmingham, AL. Watch TWC live, Jeff Morrow's live shots have it! You cant tell where the tornado is b/c the lowering is so large.

[toxictwister00]

Correction on that Tornado Watch #241 it is a PDS Tornado Watch. The 4th one in effect right now.

[Localonthe8s]

Everyone please pray that Tiffany is OK. She is in Tuscaloosa and we have reports that Tuscaloosa has been wiped off the map.

I called her earlier, she is fine but there is major damage in her neighborhood. she narrowly escaped the tornado
