There was a tornado with damage in Demopolis from that storm. ABC 3340 was showing roofs off a hotel and some homes.

janetjanet998 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 what thread are they discussing it in? I see an obs thread... that one? I looked over there and saw no title for this severe weather event....and it turns out it was buried 35 pages deep in a november discussion thread also discussing IMBY post such as "i see lightning" The east coasters in the past have always been focused on snow and most don't really care for severe weather(interested in snow) that is why in the past here and at eastern outbreaks in AL/MS/TN etc have been discussed in the central/western forum too. Most of the hard core severe folks(the ones that follow outbreaks no matter where is it) post there anyway. Now with the LOV spin off there may be three regions covered by the same event and no single "hard core only" severe weather thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
