calculus1 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 This gave me a lot of chills while watching this. Almost as if you're actually there with the person filming: http://vimeo.com/22970879 That is some incredible high-quality HD video. It almost looks too good to actually be real. WOW!

WeatherNC Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I heard it, very sombering. These things just keep holding together and a new one just popped up in Alabama. Extremely sobering! The outbreak here a couple weeks ago was on of the most stressful days in my life, as people lost there lives in that event. Protecting ones family and self against a force you cannot control, and don't necessarily see coming until the near term is something I would not wish on my worst enemy, it is literally exhausting. Thankfully we were unscathed, I can not even begin to fathom a direct impact that involved loss of life in my immediate area, or worse. 25 dead in AL per ABC 33/40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCREW YOU 5 and american idol. It was at least that wide, if not a mile and a half, when it clipped Birmingham. My God, how unprecedented is it in the Southeast to have a tornado that big on the ground for that long. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I dread to hear the final FAT numbers, but I think it could get close to triple digits when all is said and done (counting those due to sustained injuries from the storms). Prayers go out to all affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'm never watching Fox 5 again. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I don't know about you and everyone else but I am most certainly contacting them and complaining about it. (it's not kook's fault to be clear though, it's station management no doubt) If there ends up being a large area of destruction or death, these morons should get it right in the jaw by someone. Woefully irresponsible doesn't even begin to describe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandymanColumbusGA Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Our sister station in Birmingham is at wits end! It's crazy out there! This tornado has been on the ground almost 3 hours now!!!! RIDICULOUS! Rome, GA is about to get walloped.... I can only hope this won't be in my viewing area, though those in Chambers and Lee county in AL and Troup, Meriwether and Harris County need to watch this closely... OMG!

SCREW YOU 5 and american idol. So wait. They think it's more important for people to watch American Idol than stay tuned to a extremely dangerous storm....? Makes no sense, and the worse thing is, this reminds me of people who were complaining about not being able to watch "Dancing with the Stars" during the last severe outbreak that occurred several days ago.

superjames1992 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Can you clarify this? What does "BMX is abandoning ship" mean? I think they are seeking shelter, so they will not be able to issue warnings and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Can you clarify this? What does "BMX is abandoning ship" mean? They took shelter and had the Mobile NWS office take over forecasting because they were under the gun of the tornado in Shelby County, AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
