I'm in the process of moving to Huntsville but tonight I'm back in my old Kentucky home. Tornados never hit Huntsville right? Right???

Not a new mortgage owner yet.

And I am here in my apartment in Decatur, Al. Been watching the progression of the front all day and watching tornado vids -lol. I’ve learned more about tornado season and whatall today than ever. Didn’t know that April is the magic month for tornadoes. April 27, 2011 was the worst tornado outbreak ever recorded and yes Decatur took one.

This is the site that I use most for WX: https://www.ventusky.com/?p=35.80;-89.99;6&l=rain-3h&t=20190414/0300

Its gonna get ugly at about 2am. 60mph gusts etc.. and last through about 8am. Man I hope things dont go worst case scenario...

Who told you that lie? I think it was 1989 in December when this horrific tornado went down airport road, up over that pass and tore up Jones Valley. Lots and lots of damage especially around Crestwood Hospital and into the valley. I had one friend who was caught in rush hour traffic and threw herself across her young sons in the backseat of their car as the tornado stormed overhead.

I was living in the northeast corner of AL at the time, in Stevenson, AL and we caught a bit of weather a little bit after that.

I got the month wrong. This is from Wikipedia:

The November 1989 Tornado Outbreak was a destructive tornado outbreak on November 15 and 16, 1989 across a wide swath of the southern and eastern United States and into Canada. It produced at least 40 tornadoes and caused 30 deaths as a result of two deadly tornadoes. The most devastating was the Huntsville, Alabama tornado, an F4 which killed 21 on the afternoon of the 15th. Eight more fatalities were reported at a single elementary school by a downburst on the 16th in the Town of Newburgh, New York. Several other significant tornadoes were reported across 15 states.
