Itunis Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Just drove up to Chattanooga. Unbelievable tree damage just north of cartersville, swath of trees snapped off at the base. 45 minute traffic jam south of ringgold turned out to be from sightseers as it cleared up mysteriously just past the town. Not much destruction visible from the highway though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurfeh Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Wanted to ask because I haven't seen him lately but has anyone heard from mr bob? He lives in the chattanooga area IIRC and it worries me I don't recall seeing him the last few days. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Most of the area is still without power. While only the southeast corner of Hamilton County, TN was hit with a tornado, most of the county experienced a lot of straight line winds and at one point 70% of the county didn't have power. As a side note, the pictures and aerial stuff of this just doesn't do it justice. I worked 14 hours of search and rescue in Ringgold, GA overnight Wednesday/Thursday. It was awful, I've never seen anything like that in my life, and I will never forget it. I spent several hours during the day Thursday in the Cherokee valley area combing through debris and talking to people to see if they knew anyone missing. Heartbreaking for sure.

Psalm 148:8 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 FFC confirming today that I had an EF1 in a sneezing distance of my house and an EF2 that hit south of LaGrange. Mercifully only 6 minor injuries. From the NWS...summary of the EF2 that hit southeast of LaGrange. Troup County (southeast of LaGrange) A National Weather Service survey team determined that an EF2 tornado with winds of 120 MPH developed 5 miles south of LaGrange around 1120 PM EDT Wednesday night. The tornado tracked for 7 miles before lifting around 6 miles east southeast of LaGrange at 1130 PM EDT. The path length was 7 miles and the width was up to one quarter mile. Around 15 homes were destroyed and around 50 homes sustained heavy to minor damage along its path. Thousands of trees were snapped and uprooted with many powerlines down. The most significant damage occurred near Highway 219 and Murphy Road about 2 miles south of the city limits of LaGrange. About 12 homes were destroyed in this area. One home was picked up and thrown 50 feet and its sunroom was thrown 300 yards. A well built log cabin on a hill top was blown off its foundation in the oppostie direction of the tornado's movement and destroyed. There were at least 5 injuries in this area as well.

Brent Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Just wow... the sheer number of violent tornadoes this outbreak astounds me, and I still can't believe how bad it was here. This just in from BMX... TORNADO 5...ARGO/SHOAL CREEK/OHATCHEE/FORNEY TORNADO (JEFFERSON/ST. CLAIR/CALHOUN/ETOWAH/CHEROKEE COUNTIES) PRELIMINARY DATA... EVENT DATE: APRIL 27, 2011 EVENT TYPE: LIKELY GREATER THAN EF-3 (FURTHER EVALUATION UNDERWAY) ESTIMATED PEAK WINDS (MPH): POTENTIALLY UP TO 180 INJURIES/FATALITIES: NUMEROUS FATALITIES AND INJURIES. EVENT START LOCATION AND TIME: 33.6792/-86.5699 AT 623 PM EVENT END LOCATION AND TIME: 34.0661/-85.420 AT 747 PM (AT GEORGIA STATE LINE) DAMAGE PATH LENGTH (IN MILES): 72 MILES WIDTH: UP TO 1.25 MILES NOTE: CONTINUED INTO GEORGIA NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGISTS SURVEYED THE DAMAGE PATH FROM EASTERN JEFFERSON COUNTY NORTHEAST TO CHEROKEE COUNTY. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE DAMAGE WAS CONSISTENT WITH A VIOLENT TORNADO. THE TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN NEAR ARGO...BETWEEN DEERFOOT PARKWAY AND ADVENT ROAD...JUST NORTH OF INTERSTATE 59. THE TORNADO THEN MOVED EAST ACROSS THE INTERSTATE INTO ST. CLAIR COUNTY. THE TORNADO CAUSED EF-0 TO EF-1 DAMAGE AS IT TRACKED NEAR MARGARET AND NORTH OF ODENVILLE. JUST NORTHEAST OF ODENVILLE...THE TORNADO STRENGTHENED AND WIDENED CONSIDERABLY. THE TORNADO THEN MOVED EAST-NORTHEAST ALONG COUNTY ROAD 22...THROUGH SHOAL CREEK. DAMAGE ALL ALONG CR-22 WAS EXTENSIVE. SEVERAL HOMES HAD ALMOST ALL WALLS BLOWN OUT...AND ONE ROUGHLY 40 YEAR OLD HOME WAS COMPLETELY LEVELED. THE PATH CONTINUED EAST-NORTHEAST ACROSS NEELY HENRY LAKE INTO CALHOUN COUNTY. THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF DAMAGE WAS DONE ON THE EASTERN SHORES OF THE LAKE...JUST NORTH OF OHATCHEE. IN THIS AREA NUMEROUS HOMES AND MOBILE HOMES WERE COMPLETELY LEVELED...INDICATIVE OF A VIOLENT TORNADO. AT LEAST ONE WELL BUILT HOME WAS NEARLY SWEPT CLEAN OF EVERYTHING ABOVE ITS BASEMENT...SAVE FOR A FEW ITEMS OF FURNITURE. WINDS HERE WERE LIKELY MORE THAN 150 MPH...PERHAPS AS HIGH AS 180 MPH. THE DAMAGE PATH AT THIS POINT REACHED ITS WIDEST... AROUND 1.25 MILES. THE TORNADO CONTINUED TO CAUSE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE ON AN EAST-NORTHEAST PATH ACROSS NORTHERN CALHOUN COUNTY...JUST SOUTH OF THE ETOWAH COUNTY LINE. ALL HOMES IN ITS PATH RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND MANY WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED. A SMALL CHURCH ON ROCKY HOLLOW ROAD NEAR THE WEBSTER CHAPEL COMMUNITY WAS COMPLETELY LEVELED. THE TORNADO BRIEFLY WENT THROUGH SOUTHEAST ETOWAH COUNTY SOUTHEAST OF REAVES...CLIPPED A SMALL PORTION OF CALHOUN COUNTY ONE LAST TIME...THEN MOVED INTO CHEROKEE COUNTY. THERE IT DAMAGED NUMEROUS MORE HOMES AND MOBILE HOMES AS IT MOVED EAST-NORTHEASTWARD. THE TORNADO APPEARED TO WEAKEN BRIEFLY AS IT MOVED THROUGH FROG MOUNTAIN...BUT THEN IT WIDENED AND STRENGTHENED ONCE AGAIN BEFORE IT REACHED COUNTY ROAD 45 NORTH OF ROCK RUN. ON COUNTY ROAD 29 SOUTH OF FORNEY...AN APPARENTLY WELL BUILT FRAME HOME WAS COMPLETELY LEVELED TO THE GROUND BY WINDS THAT MAY HAVE EXCEEDED 150 MPH. THE TORNADO THEN MOVED INTO GEORGIA AT COUNTY ROAD 28. ALONG THE PATH...HUNDREDS OF STRUCTURES WERE DAMAGED AND DESTROYED...AND MANY THOUSANDS OF TREES WERE UPROOTED...SNAPPED... AND REDUCED TO SPIKED STUMP NOTE: THERE WAS NO DAMAGE OBSERVED ON DEERFOOT PARKWAY...JUST WEST OF THE STARTING COORDINATES ABOVE. THEREFORE...THERE APPEARS TO BE A SMALL BREAK IN THE DAMAGE BETWEEN THE TUSCALOOSA-BIRMINGHAM TORNADO AND THIS ONE...AS THE STORM WENT ACROSS THE PINSON AND CHALKVILLE AREAS. THIS BREAK IN THE DAMAGE MAY NEED FURTHER INVESTIGATION...TO MAKE SURE THAT IT INDEED DID OCCUR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 That is mindboggling that this could happen in this day an age. See its not to me, in fact we are lucky we go as long as we do inbetween these type of events. I think because EF4-5 are so rare and for most people truely hard to imagine that when they do happen and hit population centers everyone is shocked. Fact is there are few places that are going to protect you if you are directly impacted by a tornado like this, combine that with somewhere like SE where only a few had basements and well lots of folks are going to die. We can and should learn from this event but the sad fact is 5-10-15 yrs from now if another storm like this hits the SE and a long track monster EF4-5 plows through several major population centers we are all gonna be wondering how hundreds can die from a tornado in this day in age.

valkhorn Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 The surface and upper level dynamics where lifting to the north into the ohio valley during the day so the best dynamics went with it. Alabama just happened to be in the best spot for all the ingredients to come together. By the time the system moved into GA the dynamics that created all the fireworks in AL where much further north than they were when Alabama was at its worst. It's all about timing.... As I'm someone in Knoxville, I can tell you a lot of that moisture and instability went up into our area and turned itself into a lot of rain (nearly 4" that night at my house) and hail (three rounds, some as big as 1.5" and elsewhere in town recorded over 2" hail). I'll gladly trade you hail damage for not getting much out of it. I have to get someone around here on Friday to look at my roof. Also, there has been debris from AL and GA landing around east TN. I have a recipe in my yard from who knows where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Maybe there was over 100 tornadoes on Wednesday, LSRs for the day now show 259 reports. Even if you cut that in half, you are looking at over 125 tornadoes in one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO...THIS SUPERCELL EXISTED FOR ABOUT 7 HOURS AND 24 MINUTES...TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 380 MILES PRODUCING SEVERAL STRONG TO VIOLENT TORNADOES ALONG THE WAY. 380 Miles!!!!!!!! Ridiculous.

WxFreak11 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 It really is horrifying. Who would think in this day and age, with all the technology in place that we would all be COMPLETELY at the mercy of Mother Nature. Many of these people that died did everything right and they still died. I have no one I know that died or was injured in these storms but somehow the tragedy of it all is consuming. I am not a particularly religious person, but I am praying for all those affected. Hope God is listening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bob Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Alive and well here in southeastern Hamilton county....About 3 miles maybe as the crow flies from the path of the storm. I just got my power back on in the last hour after it cut out at 5ish on Wednesday....Some of y'all may know that I work for TVA for almost 10 years...never ever seen anything like it. Line after line after line going down, generating units coming off line...It was absolutely crazy...Many people spent 6 hours in the basement of the building since Morristown had the county under a tor warning for many consecutive hours that evening as well as twice during the day...Worst part for me was watching that monster on radar with my teenage kids home with no power...While I have a virtual storm cellar for a basement it was perhaps the most stress inducing moment of my life...divorce included...you just dont see this type of tornado in our neck of the woods....And fortunately I had gone over what to do and where to go as this one seemed different before it began. Almost everyone knows someone who was injured or killed...without home or severely damaged home....never would believe something like this could happen here...

It was such a horrifying experience for so many. I likened the storms to a rake and was just hoping we would all be between the "teeth" of the rake. Thanks for checking in to let everyone know you are fine. I spoke to my Dad in Moody, AL, and he said his area is still without landline phone and power. He's fortunate because he has a generator but many of his neighbors do not. My sister in Trussville was very lucky as the storm lifted while traveling through the area. This picture is of the super cell going through Trussville, the same that hi Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. I am pretty sure the mountains in the area temporarily disrupted the flow of the tornado.
