When's this shit supposed to go down?
They let us out of work at noon. I'm about to take the dog for a walk and maybe grill some steaks in a little while.
Oh by the way, one of my students asked a question after I announced that we'd be getting out at noon.
He said, "What time are we getting out?"
I said, "Noon."
He said (angrily), "Well, what time is that!??!"
I said, "Noon o'clock."
He said (angrily again), "Speak in numbers."
I said, "Twelve."
He said, "Okay."
And then he left to go vote for president.

I suggest you tell him about the classic western "High Noon". You know the scene where Gary Cooper runs around screaming "When will the train get here? My clock only goes to 12!"

Sometimes I miss the nasty storms that would roll through North/Central Alabama. The Wiregrass see nothing like it.

Here's hoping that an EF-5 tornado touches down in your living room.

Thanks pal. Not really the tornadoes but some good thunderstorms would be nice. Its like they dissipate right before they get here.
I can remember many a times driving home from work in Trussville and hauling ass up Hwy 75 to get home before some really nasty storms rolled in. Also watching James Spann removing his tie and rolling up his sleeves for a long night of action. He eats that shit up I think.

He was giddy about the tornado in Cullman. I was watching the video thinking, "Well that's a lot of dead people and lives ruined," and Spann was going "WOWZA!"

I think he missed his calling as a tornado chaser.

Well, he is the one closest to the handicap sign.

The tornado in Tuscaloosa is fucking nuts.

The tornado in Tuscaloosa is fucking nuts.
Went right over Bryant-Denny and some neighborhoods near campus.
The tornado is almost 1 mile wide. Is that an F5? Or is it assessed by damage?
-
F5 tornado in Tuscaloosa it's a mile wide. Scary stuff.

There was a video. I'm sure there will be a few pictures.

Another tornado...a new one...is about to go over Tuscaloosa.
-
Reports of damage at Tuscaloosa hospital, mall, and police station.

I don't think the damage is as bad as reported. Not surprised. But definitely thankful.

The tornado on Bryant-Denny.

EF-4 or EF-5 on the ground in Birmingham. I hope everyone is safe.

Watching it on the Weather Channel. DAMN! That thing is freaking huge!

My friend said - "There used to be stuff there."

An aerosol can landed in my back yard along with a plastic bottle. Craziness.

This shit has blown my mind.
Jefferson County Emergency Management officials have confirmed at least 10 people are dead in Concord and Pleasant Grove following the today's violent storms.
"We are going to retrieve the bodies we can right now," said Jefferson County Chief Deputy Coroner Pat Curry. "In a situation like this, the first step is to make sure we have a positive ID."
"When it is safe, we will retrieve the bodies and transport them to Cooper Green (Mercy Hospital)," Curry said.
"We are telling the people in the field to tag the ones with positive ID, and we will get to them as fast as we can."

This is worse than the 1998 storm that pushed through the same track. Some of those communities took 10+ years to fully recover.

Yeah, I can remember running through that area with a friend and that are in Tuscaloosa county still looked spooky.

Calhoun County, Goshen, AL - Palm Sunday 1993. Goshen United Methodist Church in path of mile wide F-5. LEVELED Goshen, which is right outside of Piedmont. Killed 23 people total, 21 inside the sanctuary and in the nursery, including a guy I graduated high school with and his wife and young daughter. My dad was a first responder. He still will not talk about going inside that church nursery.

The video that THS linked has been played on Anderson 360.

128 dead in Alabama.

The tornado that did all of the damage in Cullman went right over my house. Thankfully I don't even have a tree down. When I was driving through to work this morning, it looked like I was driving through a city that had been bombed. It really looks like a war zone.
-
Up to 131 dead in Alabama now. Horrible stuff. Anyone on the board affected or take a hit from this?

Same tornado that came through Tuscaloosa and Birmingham took the same path into Calhoun County that the Palm Sunday tornado took. Webster's Chapel area devastated. I was up until 1am sifting through debris trying to locate people. Insane amount of damage. I'm guessing (and I'm no expert) that it had to be an EF-4.

Everyone make it?

Sadly, no.

Every time they show more footage and pics of the devastation, it gets worse and worse. I spent 15 years in claims and went to a ton of areas that had been hammered by tornadoes and hurricanes. I think this..pardon the pun...blows all of that away. This is just unbelievable.
Obama is now in th area taking it all in and pledging support. When I hear that, something comes to mind that has always chaffed my nether regions. Anytime there's a disaster around the world, we are quick to stroke a check for several hundred million. That's fine but is the same going to happen here? Take the politics out of it. These people need help...now!!!

The last I heard, he had already declared Alabama a disaster area as of Thursday and pledged federal resources and emergency response teams to assist the state. Of course, with the rate at which FEMA works, we'll see those funds in 2012, shortly before the world ends.

Rick Perry needs to shut the fuck up.
Fires consuming a nano % of the state and 3 deaths in 10 days vs over 200 dead in the blink of an eye and 1/2 a state leveled in 2 hours. Not the same thing. Not the same level of attention.
Fuck him and his whining. Obama made the right call here for once. Kudos when kudos due.

There is a FEMA post working out of Cullman right now.

We left New Market (NW of Huntsville) after a few days of no power to go to in-laws in south Birmingham. Being without phone or power we had no idea of the extent of the devestation in North Birminham and Cullman. As for us they are saying the TVA will be down until Monday or Tuesday but thankfully we are safe.
I was at work and the kids at school when the storm passed over our house about 1:00pm. On the way home I passed a house a couple of miles from us that had an oak tree through it. Beside my house I could see where a very small tornado had touched down repeatedly in a winter wheat field and left what looked like crop circles. Nothing like the devestation in Birmingham, but still scary enough.

The death toll will continue to climb. There are still over 400 missing from Tuscaloosa alone.
