Good news is that the tornado will start hitting alot of wooded areas. That usually disrupts tornadoes and weakens it. Will see tho

Not quite, the Hackleburg tornado ate up miles of forest before descending upon Phil Campbell. Woods also didn’t bother it around Mt Hope.

Mountains disrupt tornadoes correct? You never hear of western NC getting many Tornadoes.

Good news is this rotation has weakened alot and turned more into a straight line winds. Still dangerous and lots of rain. Heavy rain is the main threat with this supercell plus some winds

This is a common misconception. They may not form as often in mountainous areas, but they can still strike and even go up and over mountains. In some cases local topography can accelerate winds in parts of a tornado.

How can I post a video? I know how with pics

 

[tempo47]

storms arent even bad here but the thunder is lasting for ever and literally shaking my house

 

[accu35]

If I can post my video I will. The possible tornado came 20 miles south of me and it got rough at my place.

Amazing storm tonight, glad it wasn't worse in my town

 

[Darklordsuperstorm]

Just an observation and maybe my eyes are deceiving me. I wonder if we are starting to see a wake low form in the backside of this rain shield in the circled area. Note the sharp precip cutoff.

Seems like this is turning into a derecho, went through a very intense wind storm in Greenville.

 

[DizzyDave45]

Very intense bow approaching Troy, AL. Perhaps trying to spin up along the wind shift.

Just went tornado warned.

Significant wind damage likely with this

That’s brutal. Probably widespread 70-90mph gusts in that. There’s going to be damage.

Radar showing 90-100 mph winds in some spots.

 

[Myfrotho704_]

CC is even picking up on the bow echo, that’s intense

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Holy smokes. 6 active tornado warnings. At midnight..

Microburst?..those can get interesting. Those straight line 100mph winds are no joke. Had one here about 11-12 years ago and it was terrifying. Laid 100+ year old Oak trees down facing the same direction all throughout town. Pretty wild

 

[RollTide18]

The moderate risk has verified for wind alone imo.
