KHTX (Hytop) is down. Probably due to a lightning strike.

I guess this has something to do with the software upgrades that are also impacting NOAA weather radio in central AL, but for some reason the severe thunderstorm warning for Marion County, AL (which is in NWS Birmingham’s coverage area) was actually issued by the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, GA. NWS Peachtree City is NWS Birmingham’s backup in cases where NWS Birmingham can’t issue warnings (such as when they have to take shelter from a tornado themselves).
ETA: From what I’m reading, it sounds like NWS B’ham is still doing the warnings, but they have to issue them through NWS Peachtree City’s system.

I think there is maybe something to topography and river valleys and such. We just have too many common, traditional paths around the country for there not to be some influence.
Then there should be a common denominator of such, like nearby rivers mostly, or valleys, etc. There are rivers and valleys everywhere. Tornadoes occur greatly in places like Oklahoma and Kansas, where there are no valleys or mountains.
But, it's everywhere. The only common is this general area of the country. From Texas to the Carolinas, north to upper midwest.

Or worse. It would have been close to the projected path of the circulations in Jackson County.

The area in Limestone and Madison Counties, very much remind me of Oklahoma.

Lot more topography in Madison than anywhere in OK.
From a tornadic activity standpoint it along with some places in MS and Tuscaloosa are are least on par with OK.
Dixie Alley is no joke.

Western Madison county is fairly flat until you're on the Eastern side of Madison.
Oklahoma has some hills and low mountains too.

Also watching some broad rotation with the storm in Walker County, AL, northwest of Birmingham.

Northwest of Knoxville TN there is extremely heavy rain with some high winds and maybe rotation. Moving east at 35 mph. Local TV is giving good coverage.

Is that where Carbon Hill is?
That place gets them kind of often too.

Yes, Carbon Hill is in the northwestern part of Walker County. This storm is southeast of there, though.

Sounds like it will work out for them this time then.

Reports lots of trees down in and around Knox County. Lightening is almost through Knox County. Power outages now adding up.

You a Limestone County baw as well?

Spann is as confused as I am that today wasn't a lot worse. Of course it was still really bad in lots of places not discounting that at all (and neither is he) but I really thought today was shaping up to be horrible around 1 pm today
