Tornado on its way to Tuscaloosa. Will go between Aliceville and Union.

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

Two storms coming toward HSV on two different headings. Heading out again...
I've never seen a radar scenario down here like the current one.

Looks like Adam Reagan has a tornado on chaser tv!
Edit: now looks like he's running from it ?

Extremely impressive hook echo and couplet just passed north of Pisgah, AL. That storm is almost surely producing. Look at how the opposite end of the bowing RFD gust front curls. Anticyclonic tornadoes look more than possible west of the hook/main couplet:

Someone has got to tell those folks that the velocity data they are showing (and probing to get values) are folded. The guy keeps clicking around on the image, seemingly surprised that the velocities are all <65 mph. Dude -- they're folded! When the flow is as strong as it is today, showing unfolded velocities are almost meaningless. I like the on-camera met, but the guy behind the scenes (the one clicking around to find the max velocities) is apparently forgetting that the velocity data are folded. My L3 data from KBMX are showing >120 kt at 0.5 degree NW of BMX attm.
Oakman N of Tuscaloosa (SW Walker Co) is going to get clobbered. The SRV image is amazing.

Large tornado heading toward Parrish, AL right now. Tornado emergency has been issued (debris signature has been present for some time). Interestingly, this town was hit directly by an EF3 tornado on April 24, 2010 ... let's hope this one stays outside town.

The cell moving right at Tuscaloosa is improving its velocity couplet. About 10 miles SW of the city now.

Charlie Davidson's live stream looks like he's in a bad spot on the huntsville storm. Looks like it could be a rain wrapped beast.

Large tornado being streamed near Cordova, AL on the CBS 42 feed.

One of the guys calling in (works for the station) at CBS 42 just told people not to stop on the side of the road, to get under the overpass. (facealm)
I heard that, and I was REALLY hoping the on-air mets would correct him. That's absolutely a terrible idea.
That tornado is being shown live. Personally, I'm worried that media person in the field is going to be WAY too close to that tornado. If it's weakening a bit, it may jog leftward a bit, and he said he may end up a bit north of it.

we were just on an intense cell in Decatur but we had to turn around, showed a nice base and brief funnel, but went back, we back tracked to the west to get another storm but it was way too rain wrapped. another storm right behind the last one coming this way! getting ready to try and intercept.
im with Adam Reagan, and 2 other chasers from Murfreesboro.
