There was no wedge today. The winds were never out of the east. At least not in Georgia

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

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.
 
From what you guys in AL have seen, what kind of damage does the killer tornado look like? EF3+? Maybe 4?

I think so far, with that tornado, we are +13 irt deaths vs last year as a whole. Numbers could be wrong, but it is higher for sure.

If you haven’t seen it yet...Take a look at Exist 51 down to Muddy Springs road. Lots of trees down and damage to sheds off of Muddy Springs road.

My friend was out that way not far and did see a funnel. The media around here is obsessed with a couple church pillars being knocked over.. but no other damage to the church from what I can see, lol. Maybe shotty worksmanship. Nothing compared to AL.

Is it me or has Alabama been hit with tornadoes a whole lot more the usual the past few years?

Alabama has a history of numerous and significant tornadoes that predates the past decade. It is part of the core of "Dixie Alley" that by land area sees more tornadoes than the traditional "Tornado Alley."

Haven't heard much of anything about that tornado warned storm south of me but some in Columbia County think there was a tornado before that storm got tornado warned in Edgefield County across the SC border:

And there has been damage reported in Edgefield County with people injured but no deaths, thankfully.

That cell towards Eureka was definitely showing stronger signs of rotation early on. CC even showed a little "debris" signature.... there were a couple down that way including the barnwell area.
