trapperman Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 NWS Birmingham also deserves some kind of award. Their discos all week have been stellar, and they took the time right in the middle of all this to write this: http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=BMX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1 What more can anyone do?

msp Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 tornado hit a trailer park sounds like at least some injuries, number unknown that cherokee co. cell is going to have to split the uprights between rome and cedartown to avoid a big population center, and there are plenty of other healthy-sized cities behind those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Large tornado moving through the same areas that were hit by an EF4, during the 1994 Palm Sunday outbreak. Goshen is where all the people were killed in the church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witness Protection Program Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'm afraid NW of Birmingham is going to end up being much worse than Tuscaloosa. On the level of Greensburg, KS or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'm afraid NW of Birmingham is going to end up being much worse than Tuscaloosa. On the level of Greensburg, KS or worse. It was certainly strengthening on the way from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham, I would say the best couplet was just prior to entering the western Birmingham suburbs.
