Arky DOT camera caught a tornado on the ground in Jonesboro... and that tornado is getting worse right now heading right for Brookland



That was pretty impressive footage.

I've watched all 8 hours of James Spann's coverage of the day of that super outbreak with the Cullman & Tuscaloosa tornadoes... the skycams were perfectly placed that day for those 2 twisters

I've watched everything I can find on it. I really wish other news channels in north AL would release their complete coverage. I think it was Brad Travis with NBC 48 who had the feed and kept telling the control room to leave the feed up because it was the best warning they could give.
I've found a few short clips of coverage, but nothing like what Spann and Jason did.

oh... forgot to mention... I also watched the 5 hours of coverage from the pre-dawn storms that day when Jason was on and Spann came in midway through

I couldn't have imagined living in that media market that day

It was interesting watching Jason cover the wind event that morning.

Have you watched the NWS Huntsville documentary on that day? I think it was my first ever post on the OT.

I recently listened to the audiobook version of What Stands In A Storm by Kim Cross.


Great book.

It is a multi part doc on YouTube. In depth interviews with NWS Huntsville employees about the days leading up to the event, forecasting that day, and surveying the damage. Very well done.

James Spann and Jason Simpson saved a lot of lives that day. Spann is by far one of the best meteorologists ever.

As far as today goes, I’m in far west Kentucky about 35 minutes from Missouri, so I am monitoring the weather coming.

It is a good look at the folks responsible for getting the information out. I had even more respect for them after watching it.

Tornado near Tunica, MS. Probably a good thing the casinos are shut down right now.
