  1. Once the hail threat diminished some, that momentum really brought the wind to Smyrna, Walter Hill, and northern Murfreesboro. My folks took some tree damage and there were numerous snapped and uprooted trees near the Siegel schools and the VA Medical Center.
  2. Levee has been overtopped on the Illinois at Nutwood. Also, the River des Peres in south St. Louis is about to go over Broadway and many, many businesses in Southtown and vicinity are pumping their basements.
  3. A very intense cluster of storms is headed for the STL area, and this could be a very nasty situation given the hail history combined with both the Blues at home and Cardinals at home this evening. There's at least 70,000+ people downtown for the events, so this is a potentially critical situation evolving.
  4. MS River at St. Louis is now forecasted to crest at 44ft on the 3rd but then hold at that level for 3-5 days. This would be the #2 crest and potential is there for the crest to be higher by up to 2ft depending on rainfall.
  5. Levee has been overtopped near Winfield, MO in Lincoln County, with a FFW in effect. The MS River will continue to rise until overnight Saturday into Sunday.
  6. The circulation is strong but pretty broad, looks more like the RFD undercut it and there is some interference with cells merging in from the south. Thankfully that area is pretty rural and mostly open farmland with only widely scattered homes.
  7. TOR warning for Madison Co., IL, near Edwardsville and moving NE away from the city and the SIUE campus.
  8. And DFW Airport is in the direct path of this exploding storm. Looks like American is about to get some newly dented planes.
  9. Ardmore cell producing again, confirmed near Huntland in Jackson County and will pass less than 5 miles north of the Hytop (HTX) radar.
  10. Damage confirmed to the AL welcome center on I-65.
  11. Apparently a confirmed tornado near Falkville & Lacon in southern Morgan County.
  12. There are zero chasers on live stream on that cell about to cross I-65 near Ardmore.
  13. TDS near Lester, headed directly at Ardmore and the I-65 welcome center for Alabama.
  14. Yep, but thinking this cluster just to the south is keeping it at bay for now.
  15. Tornado confirmed to have gone through Russellville, AL.
  16. New video has been posted of the the monsterous north Alabama EF-5 as it passed near Hackleburg and Phil Campbell. This home was on the very edge of the path and winds I'd say are easily in the 80-100mph range. The sound is incredible and the motion of the funnel for a tornado nearly a mile wide is absolutely astounding.
  17. I'm having a hard time believing that hose pic. Being propelled at such a high velocity, one would expect it to look ragged or torn from going into a tree and it just doesn't seem to be at all. Not to mention I have a hard time believing a hose could be strung out perfectly to drive straight into a hardwood tree's trunk.
  18. 4/27 was a Wednesday and the higher populated sections of the Tuscaloosa-B'ham tornado path was a good mix of homes and apartments
  19. There is the possibility that the Hackleburg tornado is the same one that hit Smithville, MS, we shall see what HUN finds.
  20. That poor town can't ever catch a break. A F5 and F4 the same day, now a probable EF5 takes em out, again.
  21. A very large tornado in Athens, AL (Limestone County), this is the same storm that has pretty much obliterated Tanner from survey reports.
