Sad thing is due to the windfield blowing the precip ahead of the Tornado there not even going to see it in the way we did it in its infancy stage. 1,212,848 people now looking down the barrel of a F4/F5 tornado and their only indication of it will be the roar & debris falling from the sky minutes before it hits.

John Brown just pegged it!

Small plus it doesn't look like it should hit tuscaloosa. Fingers crossed Brent doesn't take too much damage.

Another wall cloud passing over Birmingham. Holy crap. When the hell will this STOP?!
