When it crosses the road, look at that violent motion, those cloud bases were so low aswell

amazing video
one can see the large cell tower collapsing onto a road in the first few seconds
are there multiple vortices at the base of the wide tornado?

Kinda does look like some vortices, very noticeable around 7-9 seconds then it goes dark as the wedge passes
That’s crazy
Thats nuts.

Here in Charlotte, our winds were out of the ENE or NE for a good chunk of the day especially into the early afternoon hours. Given that this was observed head of an oncoming region of low pressure in the lower MS Valley where our winds should be out of the south or southwest, I'd definitely consider this a CAD dome here

Oh yea?! What'd you see in your neck of the woods?
Just 500-750 jkg of SBcape, for that large tornado, wow, but that helicity tho

It also was unexpectedly snowing at the NWS Birmingham office 3 hours ago, just an absolutely wild day.

They're coming out to survey for a tornado, there was definitely a funnel cloud... if it was on the ground it was between i-20 and longs pong road.
In my opinion, I see wind damage, and not tornado damage so far.
To add to my previous post:
Thats for my area. Over towards columbia, it went into the radar site, and we lost a lot of data.. but to the Northwest of the radar site/ a new circulation did pop up at one point so I am thinking that while it passed in the radar silence zone, it reformed on the northern part of the cell during its(cell restructure) weakened state and then died out.
There was also a cell going towards bishopville that didnt have a warning until late that was short lived.
In fact, I was looking at the state as a whole, and there were a lot of spin ups and stronger circulations that weren't being warned all over the place.. technically at least in SC, there should have been at least 5 or 6 more tornado warnings.. so the outbreak was a little underdone with raw warning #s around here.
The enhanced risk zone was accurate, imo from the SPC, but I think maybe after everything is said and done, that zone should have been moderate and they should have extended the enhanced through southern SC at the least. I get it though.. modeling wasn't too alarming irt severe ingredients this way and cape wasn't great the further east the storms made it..
I'd like to note, from what I can tell so far, here in SC, this was nothing like the St. Patricks day outbreak a good many years back. I still have yet to see true "tornado" damage in imagery, video, or stories. Of course a lot of locals swear it was a tornado, but the damage doesn't compute.. we will see what the NWS finds here around the state soon.

So far all of the dead have been from Lee County, AL. This is the worst tornado outbreak we have had in a while.
