No. I'm just being sarcastic at how the MSM has sensationalized the weather. They try to get people to panic when a snow storm hits northern Canada. Tornadoes happen every year at this time in what is known as 'Tornado Alley'. The MSM acts like it is unusual, or out of the blue. They seem shocked every time a town is blown away. The thing is, last year, that town was probably blown away. They keep rebuilding in that place!!!

True story sitting on the hotel computer and a influx of 200 Russian tourist? come through I ask them who they are? and of course they say Russian? anyway they need the computer will report soon lol

Hello everyone. I was reading up on the weather in the thread.

I have to say that it has been a long day. I am the proud father of a baby boy. Born at 8:45 am this morning. He weighed 8 lbs 13 oz and is doing great. Mother is also doing great.

Thank you for the well wishes.

I havn't been on today because my phone broke and wouldn't charge. I had to go home and directly wire a charger to my battery.lol....On the way back to the hospital I encountered a severe thunderstorn with a tornado watch at about 8 pm. Luckily I caught the very end of it on my drive.

Pretty crazy weather and I hope everyone is doing well.

Monday's Impacts:


Alabama

A series of tornadoes lashed the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, Ala. metro areas in the late evening hours Monday. A debris ball showed up on radar over Bessemer, Ala., just to the southwest of downtown Birmingham, but the reported tornado fizzled out before it could inflict further damage on highly populated areas. In Bessemer, Jefferson County Emergency Management officer Horace Walker told AL.com that there were no fatalities in the area, but damage was reported at an apartment complex near UAB Medical West hospital. The full extent of damage in Bessemer may not be known until the daylight hours.

Limestone County Emergency Director Rite White told the Associated Press that two people were confirmed killed west of Athens, Ala. in a mobile home park there.

Tornado emergencies were declared Monday evening for Athens and Hackleburg as tornadoes were detected on radar. In Athens, damage was reported – power lines, trees and parts of homes were brought down by a tornado that contained a debris signature on radar. Some injuries were also reported by the Athens Sheriff's Department.

Governor Robert Bentley declared a state of emergency in Alabama as severe weather continued to impact the state Monday night.

More than 50,000 people were without power across Alabama as of 1 a.m. Tuesday.



Mississippi

At least seven people are dead from a tornado outbreak across the state. The Lee County Coroner told the Associated Press that a woman died in a car accident in Tupelo, but the cause of the crash was not yet known. Six people were reported killed in Winston County, including a woman who perished in a day care center she owned in Louisville, said county Coroner Scott Gregory.

Search and rescue efforts were ongoing into the late evening and overnight hours across the state, the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said.

Around 6:35 local time two large tornadoes were reported in the Jackson metro area, one south and one north, of the downtown Jackson area. According to the National Weather Service, heavy damage was reported north of Richland, Miss. Damage was also reported in Brandon, Miss., according to the Brandon Emergency Operations Center.

At about 4:30 p.m. local time, a tornado debris signature was spotted on radar moving toward Louisville. Shortly after that, reports of widespread damage were relayed by local authorities. Some of that damage included blown out windows and roof damage to the Winston Medical Center. Some 45 people were injured by the twisters. Four of those are listed in critical condition, including two children, according to Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA).

Just before 3 p.m. Central time on Monday, Tupelo was placed under a tornado emergency as a large tornado with a debris signature was spotted near the city. Shortly after the tornado passed through the city, damage photos began to surface showing destruction from the storm. Thirty people were injured in the tornado, but none of the injuries were life-threatening.


Tupelo mayor Jason Shelton told The Weather Channel that there is heavy damage in parts of the city, especially northern Tupelo. Preliminary surveys from the National Weather Service indicated that the tornado was at least an EF-2. That could change as surveys continue.


Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant declared a state of emergency ahead of the Storm Prediction Center's declaration of a particularly dangerous situation for parts of the state. Gov. Bryant mobilized the National Guard Monday evening to help aid in relief efforts for all of the areas in Mississippi hit by tornadoes.

Nearly 19,00 people were without power across Mississippi at 1:30 am EDT as a result of the deadly storms.






Tennessee

A tornado emergency was issued for Franklin, Lincoln and Moore counties in southern Tennessee after a tornado was spotted at around 8:30 local time. On Monday night, a powerful tornado hit Lincoln County, damaging homes and an elementary school. Two fatalities were reported to hospital officials in addition to a number of other minor injuries.

"We're still trying to evaluate the extent of the damage," Melissa Smiley of the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office told The Tennessean.

Lincoln County schools will be closed Tuesday due to the storm damage, road conditions and concerns about flooding.


Georgia

Governor Nathan Deal declared a state of emergency as severe weather rolled into Georgia.

“At this juncture, we’ve declared the emergency for the entire state because it’s impossible to pinpoint where the weather will hit,” Deal said in a press release. “Georgia is threatened at least through tomorrow and perhaps into Wednesday. We’re prepared now and we’ll be ready for recovery should we, God forbid, experience tornado damage or flooding.
