You just (wrongly) assume that maybe Red Mountain and Shades Crest played some role in protecting the area.
A tornado warning was never issued. This was one of those situations where a line of severe thunderstorms comes through with severe straight line winds, but then produces a couple of quick, spin up tornadoes, as well. Those quick, spin up tornadoes are hard to warn for. However, the National Weather Service did issue a severe thunderstorm warning for the entire Birmingham metro and I believe they mentioned the possibility of a spin up tornado in that warning. Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t pay much attention to severe thunderstorm warnings.

Then a tornado warning should have been issued. Plenty of times a tornado is never confirmed in a tornado warning, just a radar indicated one.
Not sure who all would have done things differently since it occurred so late

The problem is post-April 27th, the area will often shut down at the threat of potential storms and nothing happens. So a lot of people tune out something if there isn’t a tornado warning. Then when anyone dare question people like Spann, they send their army of simps after that person. What good is it to throw off the suspenders and repeat the name of every backroad in St. Clair county but the system or network doesn’t go all in when there’s a storm that has potential to spin off tornados of f’n 280 and Lakeshore Drive?
But it seems to me that if these storms can cause tornados but there’s no advance warning because it’s not technically a tornado warning, then there’s some sort of gap in the system there. The storm on Saturday was clearly more intense than your average thunderstorm but lot of people didn’t get in a safe spot because there was no siren, no phone alert going off to no end, and the TV stations didn’t have wall-to-wall coverage. That story has been repeated a lot over the last day. We’re very fortunate that nobody lost their life.
