Title: Alabama weather
Post by: Glen on April 28, 2011, 10:11:03 AM

Sure hope all of LSR people down south are OK, the local news is showing the major damage and loss of lives. We are on the road and getting bits of the news at this time.

They have some movies on u-Tube.  Type in "Tuscaloosa Tornado" and look for flicks a day old.  It is incredible.  I always thought tornado funnels are about a barn or two or three wide when they touch the ground.  Not this one.

I just talked to Keith Turk everything is ok in his area, the twisters all stayed north of them. Said to say hello to all.

All my southern friends have come out OK - prayers and quick recoveries for all the others!

These are the kinds of records you really don't want to see broken or equaled!

Some claim the Xenia twister was supposedly 5~7 (smaller?) tornadoes rotating as one large tornado!

I have seen 5 waterspouts simultaneously in the Atlantic but not rotating as one! (And yes, there is another story there!?!?)
