Bounded Weak Echo Region showing up on BMX Radar on that storm. Good updraft, very concerning storm.

Ahead of the strongest storms is 500-1000 jkg of sfc cape, 40-60 kt of llvl shear, llvl lapses are ranging from 5.5-6.5c, mid lvl lapses are ranging from 6-6.5c, would not be surprised to see these storms get stronger since daytime heating has not reached its max yet
 
2 debris signatures line up and it looks like the storm in between is starting to rotate, praying for those affected
 
Listening to scanner on line.. Wetumpka Fire reporting " First Baptist Church and the other church destroyed".. Many homes "gone" "several entrapments".
 
New Tornado Watch has been issued for west central and SW Georgia (including here) until 10pm.
