As I suspected all after-school activities were cancelled today due to the expected tornadic weather. It feels very tropical today, more mid June weather, low 80's and very gusty winds and it's partly to mostly cloudy atm.

Also this was taken as a tornado developed live on the air in Cullman, AL

Absolutely incredible.  I've been checking out live-streams of different television stations in Alabama, and they were focusing on the Cullman, AL area.  Looking at the RADAR, there was a tornado signature on that storm, something you'd see in a text book.  After seeing the video (same video SnowManiac shows in his picture) online, it's just amazing how the RADAR can pick that up so well.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the south as these storms roll trough.  An absolute dangerous situation down there today.

I just saw that footage online! Currently I'm checking out WIAT-TV's coverage of the outbreak in Alabama (www.cbs42.com). WBMA is online too (www.abc3340.com).

In addition, a tornado is on the ground in the Jackson, Miss. area (Hinds County). WAPT-TV has live coverage (www.wapt.com).

There is a tornado emergency for Kemper County, Miss. A large tornado was near Scooba.
Noxubee County, Miss. is also under a tornado emergency. Large tornado on the ground near Cooksville.

Alabama...wow! Nearly every tornado warning in that state is a confirmed tornado. I'm speechless.

Also in reference to the Cullman, AL tornado. I heard it ripped a water tower out of the ground and tossed it. That's quite amazing! I hope everyone in AL is staying safe and keeping an eye out on these supercells if they haven't been hit yet. It's getting down right ugly there and every cell w/ a warning is tornado warned that's insane! The high risk is definitely validating in that area.

Greg Forbes has as a 10 on TOR:CON for northern Alabama. Snow Maniac, you better watch out you have and 8 for the Atlanta metro area. Stay safe.

Wow, a TOR:CON of a 10/10 for Northern Alabama! Stay safe everyone, make sure you have a severe weather  plan and a sturdy emergency shelter if you live in a mobile home.

Thanks Donovan I am, here comes another sleepless night for me. The weather here now is reminding me of how it was April 4th with the severe weather we had then except this time around it's supercells and not a line.
Also an 8 is the the highest I have ever seen Dr. Forbes give us which makes me more concerned.

Tornado Emergency now for Tuscaloosa...large tornado headed straight for Tuscaloosa and Jasper. I hope Tiffany is safe!!

Dang, Tuscaloosa can't seem to catch a break. :(

Yeah, Forbes just said a huge, wedge tornado headed right for Tuscaloosa. They just got one 2 weeks ago. I've never seen a 10/10 on a tor-con rating too.

Yes indeed. I'm watching WBMA's coverage and the tornado is on their Tuscaloosa skycam...it is HUGE. At least a mile wide.
