The Iceman Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 just got off the phone with my cousin who goes to U of alabama. He said his house was spared but south side of campus there is a ton of damage. he's currently helping some friends of his but said he'd send me some pics later or tomorrow. Me and him were in a F-2 together in myrtle beach, sc and he said "it's far worse." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Possible EF4-EF5 damage in Tuscaloosa. Stores are completely gone. Normally with these early reports I would urge caution with taking them verbatim, but coupled with the radar signatures unfortunately this type of damage is not only possible but probable.
