10/30/09 NOW: AL

[Brandi Davison]

Feel free to add as necessary. Just expired Tornado Warning in Walker County, but don't think anything came of it. Nasty looking funnel though! Also, current Tornado warning for Winston and Marion counties. Doesn't look super promising to produce to me, but I am new to all this so what do I know? LOL Saw a good wall cloud in pictures, but unfortunately I am not able to get out today because I am at home with a sick child.

Looks like a short broken line segment of cells moving from about 215 with a particularly intense couplet traversing SE Marion Co., AL right now. Picking up to 70 - 80 kts of delta V across the couplet.

Damage

Some damage reported in Haleyville. A home was knocked off of its foundation (possible this was a mobile home though) and a storage facility had its roof damaged.

Sun went down and now the party is over. Oh well...I'll take whatever excitement I can get this time of year!

It was a home....I aided a woman in Haleyville who had her home hit. The tornado was rated EF-1 and we were on it for most of it's life cycle. We hit the initial storms coming out of Mississippi at 11am and stayed on them until after dark. It certainly was a LONGGGG day. Some video included here...
