The tornado was caught by WVTM 13 and ABC 33/40 by both of their respective tower cameras on live TV. It's climbing along the Double Oak Mountain area of the Northern Shelby County

It's is but there's been more urbanized area growth south AL 119 since 2010. There's a large commercial retail area, multifamily residential developments, and office parks south of 119 in Inverness and Brook Highland.

I'm from Birmingham. That's a highly populated area that is being hit right now. Northern Shelby County has nearly 200,000 people. It's following the Cahaba Valley Road corridor (AL 119) headed towards to Inverness part of Hoover and Brook Highland neighborhood of the City of Birmingham.

There's a tornado on the ground in Helena and it's going to be head towards the Riverchase part of Hoover and Pelham.

Blame that on Congress... Charlotte has been lobbying for a closer NWS radar station for nearly 2 decades now... It's the largest urbanized region (3M+ residents) in the nation without a NWS radar site within 70 miles of its location.
