This Tuscaloosa County into Jefferson County path is like a runway. You can count on at least one tornadic storm through that path in most severe weather events. It’s ridiculous.

I’m watching that one west of yazoo city. There’s nothing to hinder it anywhere close and it’s getting lots of energy.

Twitter link to some damage in Tuscaloosa

Pretty large trees that were snapped a few feet off the ground.

Maybe not, but in my mind it calls attention to the importance of the ongoing event for people who wouldn't read weather threads but might actually benefit from this one. It's also updating quickly, so people are checking it more frequently. It helps those people find it more quickly. Of course keeping a tab open and refreshing the thread would solve that problem.

More and more research is going to go into the "Classic Paths" around the Southeast, in particular. There are a few of them with plenty of analog data to work off of.

For some reason Yazoo County seems to consistently get hammered by tornadoes.

It has to be one of the most tornado prone stretches in the country.

More than trees...some roofing materials in there. I think that's the remnants of a house in the background.

It is. Then, you have the path right through Tanner. Remember Tanner took direct hits in 1974 and April 27. Multiple, in 1974. It is similar to the path you're talking about.

Yep, Tornado Alley. Several family members went to UA, and most of us live in Birmingham suburbs now. Been that way as long as I can remember.

For some reason, and I am very thankful, the terrain south of Birmingham means most of these storms don't spin off tornadoes. You'll see some north of BHM like today, and you'll see some south of BHM like in Chilton county and south Shelby county, but the over the mountain communities where we live seem to always dodge the tornadoes. We get straight line wind damage and plenty of old trees uprooting when the ground gets super saturated, but actual tornado damage isn't usually happening here.
