“Looks like we were hit by a 5000-pound bomb here” - reporter in Tuscaloosa.
The weather channel, which I rarely watch, is showing the Birmingham tornado. It’s a big one!
This is crazy weather! Sirens have not stopped for the last half hour! Tornado seen and videoed at the Meridian airport! Reports from TV 11. Tornado on the ground in Meridian! North side. Headed my way!
It;s massive and frightening to watch this...it clipped University Mall.... and just keeps on going...this thing has been on the ground since tuscallusca....and there’s more tornados happening there as well...they are getting hammered!
I was in Birmingham just last week. My heart goes out to those there in the emergency. I spent all day with a total of six tornado warnings and being under the gun. I can’t even guess the terror they are having right now. God help them.
oh man...Godspeed all.
This is real bad. They say at least an F4, probably an F5, that hit two major cities.
Oh please get into a safe place...they are strongly urging people they don’t have time except to get into a safe place....it’s such a violent Tornado...
OMG
Yes it’s extremely bad...my brother in Florida is watching this now...I sent him this link once I had found it on line...His business offices are in Birmingham...
It’s awful there...allot of urgency for people to get in a safe place...loss of life already .
The reporting they are doing is unlike I’ve every seen before...amazing live coverage...though very worrisome for those in this tornados massive path...it’s gigantic!
And ANOTHER huge one coming in south of Tuscaloosa
Another huge storm heading into our area. This one is on a bad track for the city of Meridian, Ms!
Are you ok Red Devil? Safe?
Well defined hook echo on that cell headed your way. Stay safe.
The storms in my area are headed your way! Double Vortex Tornado reported in Meridian! Just damn! And it is getting dark now!
So far we are safe! Watching radar and continuous coverage on local TV station. Another one is headed our way from the southwest!
That’s the one I’m talking about.
Do you have a basement?
Tornado Emergency Declared for My town of Meridian. That is a rare declaration from the NWS!
