MS and AL are peak Dixie Alley for tornadoes.


It seems like in at least half of these tornado threads I see Eutaw/Livingston area in the path

My buddy just old me that his cousin was missing in the Old Kingston area yesterday after the tornado. Search party went out early this morning, they found her about 40 yards from her demolished home dead in a pile of debris. He said that they found one guy dead in a tree, and that many people are still missing. Absolutely heartbreaking.



Very sorry to hear that. I am guessing that is the 1 they just added to the fatality total a little while ago.

This part of Alabama is just about the worst place for a high end long track tornado to go through in the US.

Wasn’t UAH doing a study on this topic? I can’t remember if they released any findings or if it still is ongoing. I grew up between the Pisgah, Rosalie area and had a few to close for comfort tornadoes at my home. From a weather stand point it is amazing how these storms like yesterday near Ider ramp up like they do.

Those pics look like mobile homes, possibly.


Yea Spann was our guest speaker at company meeting today he said they’ll investigate the deaths but he feared it was due to mobile homes.

Btw he is an incredible guy in person. Great speaker and really approachable. He truly loves what he does

They were and I think still are. There are also similar studies in the mountains of North Carolina. It is part of a broader effort to both understand topographic influences on tornadogenises as well as to dispel the myth that terrain can "protect" a given area from tornadoes.

There's always been suspicion that the Tennessee River in Decatur plays a part in strengthening storms/mesos as they move into Limestone County. There's another classic track in north AL from the Moulton(ish) area of Lawrence County, into Trinity and Decatur, across the river, and into the Tanner area of Limestone County. Tanner is a town with a long, rough history with tornadoes.

There were two fatalities in Georgia. One was a five-year-old boy who died when a tree fell on the car. The parent with him is in critical condition. The other fatality was a DOT employee killed by falling debris. The total is up to 9 now.

My home town

Grew up and still live here as well.

SW Griffin/Spalding County where I'm at is ok(no power) but the north side of town up between 9t St./McIntosh to the top of the hill up from Spalding Heights on Northside Drive is a war zone.

Downtown was spared.

I tried to gif it, but the loop is too long.

My parents live down south. South of the airport. No problem down there but the northside got hammered.


Glad you’re ok.

Damage photos from the Kingston area in Autauga County. Some site-built homes destroyed, it appears.

I know her. It took away buildings, trees and homes away but no lives were lost here in Dallas County.
