The Tuscaloosa/Birmingham area may be getting in the action momentarily, whether it's of the severity of what's going on in East Alabama remains to be seen
 
Jacksonville is getting wiped off the face of the map tonight as at least two (& possibly a 3rd anticyclonic tornado) hit a major university in Jacksonville, AL.
 
Haralson Co. storm just went PDS according to TV Chandley

I pray for them. Looks like they’re through it after this one but the tornados are hitting that same path like train cars.
 
At 958 PM EDT, a confirmed large and extremely dangerous tornado
was located over Coleman Lake And Campground, or 9 miles southeast
of Piedmont, moving east at 40 mph.

This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. TAKE COVER NOW!
 
I don’t see this thing weakening before it gets to Buchanan. Hope I’m wrong
 
The Alexandria one just went warned, looks like it will go south of Jacksonville. There is another behind it though, that one may also hit Jacksonville. This is insane.
 
Any links to local news covering the tornado in Jacksonville?

As much as history has been kind to the Atlanta metro area, these supercells entering GA mean serious business and aren't likely to weaken too terribly much as they are closing in on the metro.

Glenn Burns brought up an interesting point not too long ago about these storms unusual travel path (ESE vs. NE or ENE) and how the EF2 Atlanta tornado traveled ESE when it hit, I had actually forgotten about that myself. Speaking of the wedge, I think the wedge may be retreating here anyway, temp/dp has been rising here the past few hours.
 
Holy crap...this is getting intense quick! Hearing all kinds of reports of substantial damage at JSU? Wow wow wow. Prayers for the safety of everyone there...

Supercells typically take right turns so this was a faux-paux on his part
 
The storm that is hitting me currently has really calmed down. Hardly and thunder or lightning. Heavy rain and gusty wind, no hail at all. Prayers for those hit harder.

My stepdaughter is a student at Jax State. Trying to get in touch with her. Son is in Paulding. Tough hours ahead. Seeing lightning here in Sandy Springs now.

Prayers that everything is good with the Stepdaughter.. Paulding so far has not been that bad.. A lot of lightning but not as strong of winds and no hail..

Thank goodness. Thanks for the update - prayers for safety to you all out there. Still no reports from Jax yet.
