Staring to see some pictures from Henagar. Homeowners were ok.
Wow! Glad everyone was okay.

What do yall think the overnight threat is looking like for McComb MS area? I see we are in enhanced risk. Hi-res models aren’t all that impressive and it seems we’ll be right on the southern edge of where the severe storms occur. I will say it is odd seeing the severe wx occur in Alabama and Georgia already. We usually get it before they do
It’s currently sunny, 90°, with a dew point of 78°

The pics of the Brigadoon community is right next to our neighborhood. Our next door neighbor lost their pier last night.
There are pics showing the twister coming across the TN river… and another of it making landfall in Brigadoon. Several lost their piers and boathouses ….destroyed . Brigadoon is one of the nicest gated communities in Limestone county. Some very expensive homes.

Yeah, I remember when none of those homes were there. I also remember when the only thing in Lucy's Branch was a rope swing hanging from a tree limb over the river.
Simpler times.

All the U.S. east of the Rockies is a battlefield nowadays. Go west, young man-- California is the place you oughta be.
It's funny how Jeb Clampett and The Mamas & The Papas had the right idea back in the 1960's, and that was years before climate change kicked in, in earnest.

Straight up, I wish you would just stay out of these threads. You don’t contribute anything to them. No one can prove the connection of a single weather event to anything humans are doing, yet you try to do so in every one of these threads. Go back to the PT board.

Earthquakes, mudslides, and wildfire season are all much worse than the occasional severe wx threat, imo.
We actually have a fairly calm climate here in Mississippi. Far enough inland to where hurricanes don’t bother us. Summers are hot, sure, but you get used to them. Fall and winter are absolutely gorgeous. Spring is nice but it brings with it the occasional severe wx event.

I know there are some folks on TD that have experienced several hurricanes with loss of property. With hurricanes you usually have a little time to prepare. Tornadoes are so dang unpredictable and reek terror on folks.
Every time I hear a tornado watch is out I almost immediately visualize it either coming down the TN river or coming across the river…. straight for us. It’s happened a few times during our 22 years living on the river.
I can’t imagine riding out a hurricane.

I know each weather event is terrible in its own way, but living on the gulf coast, and only dealing with hurricanes, (never seen a tornado in my life) I couldn’t imagine dealing with tornados, and I’ve lost my home to a hurricane in Laura. The destruction it does with a matter of 15 minutes heads up at most is hard to wrap your head around. My heart goes out to all the people that have had to deal with these outbreaks.

They're both different types of psychological torture. With a hurricane you get to watch the loss of your home and and/or livelihood get destroyed in slow motion. With a tornado you get to dread the possibility that it all is gone in a flash. Both equally horrible mentally, if not always comparable in regards to advanced warning.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can help. Is this a wall cloud? This was the first tornado warned storm that went by my house. A guy sent it to me on Facebook where he videoed somewhere on top of Sand Mountain looking down.
I created a twitter account just to post this.

It looks like a wall cloud with a funnel. Do you know which storm it was?

It came through the Scottsboro & Hollywood area around 9 last night.

Yes…. That rope may still be there. My sons swung out on it a few times about 20 years ago. Those were good days.
