I had two rumbles of thunder overnight and that was it.

You were definitely lucky then. It sounded it like a war zone here from just after 2 to almost 4. I hardly ever get woken up by storms but definitely got woken up by that line. Also, I’ve ended up with another 1.7” rain the last two days which puts me right about 4.5” for May… that’s nearly 4x what I had all of April

I don't want that either. But, as a weather enthusiast, I do enjoy action besides rain. Lately it has been hard to just get a good storm where it actually thunders (and lightning).

Agreed, been like that for awhile. The state line seems to suck all a storms energy for whatever readon

Same here. And people here are going to start thinking the local TV mets are crying wolf whenever they mention the chance for severe storms. Maybe I am just lucky, or unlucky depending on how you look it, but the past few years I end up not having a storm at all a lot more than I do when the forecast calls for a chance of severe storms.

So thoughts on round 2 tonight for Alabama into GA?

Location of the MCS will determine impact as will how much recovery we get in the next few hours. The CAMs are actually starting to pick up on a storm cluster/MCS in between round one and two. If they occurs it may put more people a little farther north in play.
 
Here in east central Alabama it’s bright sunshine and not a cloud to be seen after this morning’s storm.
 
Wow! This is easily the worst thunderstorm I’ve experienced in many months. Lead by very strong winds, torrential rains with CTG lightning followed quickly. I was trying to get home to beat the storm but too many others had the same idea and thus the traffic was so heavy it delayed me. Fortunately I got home safely but there’s no power. Waiting it out in the car til the rain slackens, which it’s starting to do.

Good thing helicity is low, that cell would be a massive problem for Helena and surrounding areas. Overshooting top is now over 50k feet.

Very impressive meso showing from MXX in the upper levels.
