My God, I did not expect this kind of event to happen today.
This (I believe since I can't think of any other events) is the deadliest tornado event in Alabama since the April 27th, 2011 Super Outbreak.
Deadliest outbreak in the SE since the April 27, 2011 outbreak and the deadliest single tornado in the US since the Moore 2013...

So sad

God bless the first responders. I have no idea how they do it.

Tornadoes happen in wintertime, particularly in the South. There's a cold front moving through
And astronomical winter isn't the same as meteorological winter. Meteorological winter is over.

There are still people missing in Alabama. This storm must have hit really fast. My gosh, I can't imagine what they are all going through.

sadly... I've watched all 13 hours of coverage from ABC 33/40 from that day more than 1ce
mesmerizingly, horrifically awesome television
ETA: I watched it as someone who was a TV news producer and was interested in how they covered the event live
YouTube - Morning wave (linear event) - set up a bad situation for the afternoon outbreak as it knocked out power and sent weather radio in the area offline
YouTube - Afternoon wave (supercells) - including Tuscaloosa tornado

survived a direct hit deadly high F4 and they scare the crap out of me.
That would be a good story.
How?
I read that some of the steel survival tank setups are only good up to f4. More and more schools have something.

The morning wave that day was a major event in itself. 250,000 people lost power that morning and that was before the actual major tornado outbreak. I always wonder how many people couldn’t get warnings that afternoon because of the power outages, cell phone outages, and the NOAA weather radio outage in northwest Alabama caused by the morning storms.

that... plus apparently the radars were off calibration
like where the radar was apparently showing the tornado... it was apparently several blocks away

Thanks to Tigerdroppings I bough the Radar Scope app and normally watch these type of fronts as they move through. I've found I can spot and watch these things for quite a while before seeing about it on the news or TV.
Textbook rotation well before Tuskegee. It wasn't on the ground but I thought Tuskegee might get hammered as I first watched this develop.
Where the two white lines cross is right were most of the damage and fatalities occurred. Time stamp of 1:44. Notice the warning does not extend into Lee County yet. I've got no idea why cause the rotation is text book and doesn't seem to be slowing down. It's about 15 miles to the Lee county line and 25 miles to Beauregard. That's a good 30-40 minute warning if you can get the information into the hands of the people who need it the most. At this point anyone in the area could have casually strolled to their car driven 10-15 minutes into town to grab a bite to eat or do a little shopping to wait out the storm safely away from the track of the storm. But how can you get the information to the people who need it the most? You would think with today's amazing technology we could have figured this out by now. I got my first Tornado warning just past 2:00 almost 16 minutes after I took my 2nd screen shot. How many people see the warning and just ignore it?
A little after 2:20 it was on the ground doing most of it's damage.

Cario got ZERO warning

my only guess is a switch of NWS office coverage areas
1 had eyes on it... the other was maybe aware but wasn't quite fully knowledgeable of what was happening
but again... only my hypothesis
