re: Nasty tornado on the ground in Lee County, AL (Now rated EF4)

The velocity couplet on the second Lee County storm does not look as good now, but there is still a TDS. Of course, it takes a while for all of the debris to fall back down once the tornado lifts.

Areas affected...central GA
Concerning...Tornado Watch 8...
Valid 032051Z - 032115Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 8 continues.
SUMMARY...Tornadic storms with potential tornadic wind speeds
100-140mph are possible with the Twiggs County supercell.
DISCUSSION...KFFC radar imagery indicates rotational velocity values
between 45-60 kt with an environment supportive of tornadic
supercells. Experimental tornado damage intensity guidance is
suggestive of wind speeds between 100-140mph. Downstream of this
storm, expecting little to no storm-scale interference in the near
term in a strong low-level shear environment. As other storms over
south-central GA move north into the warm frontal zone over central
GA, the tornado potential will probably increase.

SPC would probably be justified in upgrading to a moderate risk for central/south GA and into SC.

13 tornado warnings and The Weather Channel is telling us about snow and giving us really poor demonstrations of how to take shelter during a tornado warning.
