One of the scariest storms I've ever seen on Radar. Storm Prediction Center issued a special mesoscale discussion for this individual storm.
Anyone watching the news channels (heard CNN had someone at Ft. Rucker doing a non-weather story) please chime in.
8-mile wide long damage path, dozens of homes heavily damaged. High school heavily damaged(where students are trapped).
Have seen multiple reports on other boards that TWC is reporting that a High School was completely destroyed and there are students trapped inside.
Lived in Enterprise for 11 years. Hope it's not too bad. Worst tornado I saw there was just after New Years in the early 70's. It was on Fort Rucker.
I grew up in Elba, also in Coffee County.
God help them...
MSNBC is getting a report that the HS in Enterprise has been destroyed. No commo into the area per the Ozark Mayor..
Right now, we have Tornadic activity heading toward Aliceville in about 9 minutes from now..

More Warnings
My sister is there. My brother-in-law at Rucker. Their son in Iraq. I can't get through by land or cell.
God help those people. I used to live there when I was a very young kid.
How long before the global warming nuts blame global warming for all this!!!
Fervent prayers for the students in the High School. It's sounding very bad.
Damn, check out the storms just west of Tuscaloosa...
I just drove throUGH this storm a little over an hour ago on US 231 as it progressed towards East Montgomery. I was just hearing about it on the radio as I was driving home, about 20 miles east of Enterprise. THAT WAS TOO CLOSE.

Hopefully, I won't get a chance to see my third funnel cloud today, but the stuff is starting to move into Elmore County.
Whoa - I just left Fort Rucker last week.... Lots of friends still there.
Early this morning the storm center in Norman, OK put the entire state of Alabama under a high alert for tornadoes (a rarity).
Huntsville (where I'm located) dodged another bullet today. Prayers for those in middle and south Alabama and for those in Georgia, the Carolina's, Virginia, and Florida who have yet to have this system go through your area.
