This is the aftermath.  Correction it was Tuscaloosa.  Pretty close to the stadium.

I saw the stadium in front of the tornado.  Was not sure what stadium it was.

We're feeling the love up here in KY. Nothing much with tornados, but rain and flooding. Hopefully everyone in Tuscaloosa is okay, thoughts and prayers. It has to be scary.

I hope you just get rain Wildcat .. that was one scary looking beast.  

I have a feeling I'm going to be busy the rest of the week.  

Edit: 



I have no idea why in the name of all that is good and holy that person stayed put but.. ya

My sisters going to AU. She was hiding in the library when it hit. It missed the library along with the heart of the campus. She's still trying to get back to her apartment. Not sure if its gonna be there. A cvs 1/4 mile away is gone.

I'm glad to hear she's okay dud.

Great... it's moving into KY.  Hunker down Wildcat.

Dich, it takes more than a tornado watch to get my bulky arse in the basement. If I hear sirens, I'll definitely get down.

So long as you keep your head firmly attached to your shoulders I'm happy bro

That one that went through Tuscaloosa stayed on the ground all the way up to Gadsden which is over 100 miles away. It also got clocked with wind speed of 174 knots and has been confirmed as an EF5 already that went through there. It hit Birmingham about 40 minutes after it went through downtown Tuscaloosa and through the campus at the University of Alabama. When it went through Tuscaloosa it was only about 1/4 to 1/2 mile wide. When it hit Birmingham it was almost 2 miles wide in the destruction path.

My house got him with trees that got knocked down by a small tornado about 5:45am.

Total known fatalities as of 8:26pm are 37....that is just what the know right now. We have over 350,000 homes without power in the state and over 160k of those homes are in the Birmingham metro area. This was a bad storm.

Man the south is getting pounded, what the hell did we do?  Everyone in the path of these storms hunker down, stay safe and good luck.

Keep us posted Reschke..

Good news is that we are almost done with the storms. We have one more that is headed through the area  in the south part of Perry County (Marion, AL) and headed towards my parents location.

That is the last one that is showing for us.

Go to www.cbs42.com for videos and pictures from Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. It looks like a damn warzone. Gas mains are popped open and fires are going in Birmingham right now.
