Severe weather potential May 2 - 4

Major bow echo about to cross central Coosa county.

Impressive winds.

Why no Tornado Watch north or southeast? Here's why...
1) North: The severe threat is diminishing, but flash flood threat continues.
2) SE: We'll monitor trends this evening & will add counties to the Watch if needed. #alwx

I"m hearing that too many people in need of help are trapped in their homes. Water Rescue is overwhelmed.

Oh crud. That's not good. Last one we had knocked down two trees in my yard.. almost worst case scenario with that.

Spann is sounding the alarm on TV right now about the wake low situation

That's actually really bad. I couldn't think of a worse time than after this. Let's hope it doesn't happen. Because I have had so much rain and saturation that I have two large lakes that have formed in my back yard.

Any damage @Arcc ?

Hasnt hit me yet, but what will get me doesn’t look that impressive.

Tornado warning north of montgomery alabama! Check out the hook and ball on this warning!

 

[Darklordsuperstorm]

Per Spann "a lot of downed trees being reported with this wake low"

 

[Zander98al]

TDS with the tornado warning

Is this the worst flooding people in Birmingham, AL have experienced?

The flooding is bad but not the worst the area has seen.

 

[Arcc]

Nothing but rain and lightning.

Just had a decent little microburst here with this unwarned cell, it was ramping up a little hail core right as it approached and then it must have collapsed right over me cause we easily had winds 50-70 mph, big branches down, literally ripped my neighbors mailbox from the ground and tossed it across the street etc....probably the best storm winds IMBY in several years outside of canes....

I could see the *storm* all the way from Surf City.. Quite the structure!

 

[Zander98al]

Uh oh.

 

[Zander98al]

TDS with no warning...

 

[Zander98al]

Again still no warning with a tornado on the ground. With strong rotation.

Apparently my neighborhood got rocked by a big downburst with people reporting lots of damage around. I missed it because I was at work

So surveying damage it isnt steady enough to call it a damage path. Lots of privacy fences destroyed. The closes being 3 doors over from me. Somebody claimed this picture was taken about 3 miles up the road and they said it was a tornado but I ain't sure. The pic is not conclusive.

That's crazy. I'm in greenwood county (in town, near a high school) and all I got was heavy rain with some wind.

If this is right, think we got a little rain to day...

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Station near me says 1.13, that’s over 2.6 + yesterday, in your face ! @SD

 

[Tarheel1]

I’d say May’s off to a good start

Can I at least see some rain today? Did not see 1 drop somehow yesterday with it all around me at any given time.

Finally got rain last night for the first time in a while a good 20 min downpour.
