Pratt city and pleastant grove look at least EF3..
as i mentioned when it was happening at least it didn't go 2 miles more south..through the heart of BHM
but still...
hard to tell the difference at times becuase one can argue a slower moving tornado has more time to sweep the pile of rubble away then the same tornado moving faster
EF4=only a pile of rubble left
EF5= nothing at all
listening to various soruces in AL and GA.....
they still haven't got to alot of areas yet..will be looking for people for days
bringing in special search teams
most of us were watching Spann on ABC but here is CBS stations live report of the Tornado

death toll now 194
once again the storms this morning knocked power out to many people in AL..they had tornaodes and very highe winds about 5-7am
they had no power or access to TV and NOAA weather radio was down in some locations
and the internet
also i assume the sirens won't work if no power
I don't think tornado reports ever had a filter only wind and hail did..of course many are from the same tornado
again you have to add the 61(that will increase) from yesterday afternoon.evening and the early morning hours before 12z
yes same outbreak
there was only like an hour between reports starting in texas yesterday(12z to 13z this morning)..and many more that were entered as wind reports that said possible tornado last night
no its not...it will go north of the city and the north side isn;t that populated not near as the south side ..another 2-3 miles south would be a complete disaster
but decent size towns in its path
