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.

Damage from the Wetumpka tornado. If you remember the film Big Fish, it was filmed here. the bridge you see is the one they crossed and what used to be a white church from the 1850s. No loss of life has been reported.

Just saw New Briefing from Wetumpha, and NWS BHM has very preliminary survey info of "High End EF-2 damage with path width of 300 yards." Survey(s) are ongoing.
