Severe storms, including tornadoes, today left a path of destruction across parts of central Alabama, and left at least five people dead in Calhoun County. ... At a 10 p.m. press conference, Calhoun County Sheriff Matthew Wade said the path of the storm extended from River Road in Ohatchee through Wellington to Kimberly Road in Piedmont. He said all search and rescue efforts have ended for the night, but authorities are unaware of any unreported damage.

Yep, we’re getting thunderstorms here in SE Michigan right now. Pretty early in the year for such things.

Maybe. They have already been testing the storm sirens. We are heading for Palm Sunday after all. Weather is so unstable here in the spring.

We had a tornado pass just to the north of us, in the Roanoke/Wadley area. I think it was the same one that tore Newnan a new one. Bizarre. We’ve barely seen anything but a few stiff breezes. I’m watching Agenda Free TV and looking at the al.com updates. It’s a bad one, worse than last Thursday. And that was terrible.

Here in my neck of the woods in a burb North of Atlanta we got a few thunderstorms and plenty of rain. Seems we were surrounded by the worst of the storm. Spared once again from the wrath of mother nature. Prayers out to those in Cartersville and Newnon as they got hit pretty hard. Sun will be coming up shortly and I expect the damage will be pretty extensive in those areas.

We didn’t get anything severe in Lilburn. Thank goodness as we are still trying to get my mom’s house across the street from us fixed from the Oct. Tornado.

Yeah, I noticed that, too, and spent several seconds trying to figure out what it meant.

Wow, thats truly sad. Most roofs are designed to support their own weight down, not designed to prevent lifting and it shows in that video.

I was talking to a person yesterday at work who was in Alabama and mentioned the tornado warnings that were out.
