That should be an instructional video for Cursing 101.

adding stuff to OP from NOLA tornado now
Posted on 3/23/22 at 9:30 am to Crawdaddy
I live in the 280 corridor by Greystone, and my folks just moved out that way as well from Mobile. the last year has been way to many close calls. from the Eagle Point tornado a year ago (a mile from me) to the Leeds tornado from a few weeks ago going over my apartment before touching down, to the one last night they were tracking that would have come right down 119 towards them - something has changed, and it is baffling.
it has always been that Oak or Red mountain typically steers the worst of the storms north of downtown towards Gardendale or Fultondale, or south through Chelsea and areas like that - it really had to be perfect to get in between them and come up through Pelham and Hoover at the like - but that is starting to seem more frequent.
either way good that everyone impacted is safe, and for those that were impacted your that your OT family is here for you.

It’s not just the frequency of storms in that west central AL/MS area, it’s the intensity.
An F3/F4/F5 is a completely different deal than an F0/F1 and that area is a magnet for the long track super cell storms.
To be honest I think every new home in both states should be required to be built to hurricane standards or have a dedicated or community storm shelter in the neighborhood. I know of homes in N AL that have been rebuilt or repaired 2-3 times just from tornadoes in the last 20-30 years.

the problem is, im not sure even building them to hurricane standards will matter much if they are hit by a tornado - but I will say, the Tornado room that James Spann built into his house, which worked with the Eagle Point tornado last spring, is an item i feel should be included in all builds - the house may be lost, but the shelter is there.

Link is broken. Maybe they took it down? Does anyone have an updated link?
Those stills are insane.

Today's weather will be quiet but please don't try to go tour damage! There's several road closures in St Bernard Parish and there can still be hazards like downed lines. Allow officials/first responders/affected residents to do search & rescue, assess/begin clean up of damage.

There's only so much you can do for an EF3+. Its not practical to make a fully poured in place reenforced concrete house, so safe rooms are the only reasonable option for most. For those who cant afford it, there should be gov programs to pay for it in places like Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Alabama.
Plus community shelters for mobile home heavy areas.

Trying to figure out why those storms didn't produce all day until over our region for a short 1-hour period. 00Z sounding from Slidell hints to the reason, notice surface winds backed southeast, mid-level winds veered west. Then a jet streak blasted us right around 00Z. #lawx

You go down to the beach and no one is building with shingles anymore, it’s all metal roofs with hurricane bracing to secure it up to 120mph mph winds.
To your point, you can’t build a house to not take damage in an F4/F5. But if your windows and roof are wind rated and you avoid having giant pine trees that can take down a wall your odds of avoiding major damage in an F0-F2 are pretty fair.
If DR Horton can build storm code homes in FL for $300-$500k they can do the same in Dixie Alley.

So I live about 20 miles north of Birmingham. Last March, prior to the outbreak that produced the Eagle Point tornado, I made a comment to my Dad about how it always seems like the places in the western and northern parts of the Birmingham metro get tornadoes, but the southern suburbs (Homewood, Vestavia, Hoover, Pelham, Helena, Chelsea, etc.) rarely do. Then the Eagle Point tornado happened and there have been several other events since where that area was tornado warned. It's like I spoke it into existence.

Yeah, Ive got a blog post coming and I noticed the same looking at 18z vs 00z. Plus you see that divergence on the jet, where the high winds drop off? Yeah, that'll get things lifting.
And we're kinda "left exit" on the southern max.
The backing to SE too makes a big difference.
