Alabama take cover. This storm is going to be horrible!

they told us we were all gonna die last night here in Arkansas.

it was typical fucking thunderstorms. if the wind blew 20mph I would be surprised. they claimed it was gonna be 70 mph

I understand there may be damaging winds/tornados/etc, but this doom hype horseshit for every line of thunderstorms that come through is the biggest bunch of fake news horseshit by sensationalist weather men trying to get more ratings and social media clicks.

Greystone! Nice place to live. Glad your safe

I agree the hype is overboard sometimes

Yes.

I do not know why everyone forgets this year after year saying it is not normal.

Boy did we get lucky here in st. Clair county..,very heavy flooding tho

Yes yall did. Cullman got hit but it was 10 miles above me.

I'm an old guy and it used to be cold for 5 months out of the year.

question now is: does it continue week over week until June like last year?

Yeah I've only been down here four years but it's not even been warm enough to freeze the grass and ground yet...theres still bugs everywhere outside

Idk but I'm just glad I'm not in the very cold climates anymore...i grew up on the great Lakes with hardly any heat

YEP!!!

Yes. We have frogs out now. Very bad imho

BLOUNTCOUNTY: The tornado watch has been cancelled. Just be aware if you are planning to travel there has been several reports of trees down in the road

I'm very glad the tornado weakened before it hit Tuscaloosa.

Whelp, that mess is almost here.

Winds are picking up.

I remember back when we did NOT have tornadoes here in the midwest during the winter.

Maybe you are just a young whippersnapper and don't have a lot of years under your belt.

Also, we did NOT have these double-decker winter storms with blizzards on the northern part of the system and tornadoes on the southern part of it. A winter storm was either a snowstorm or blizzard type storm, or some rain. Not usually these flooding rains, and I'm not even sure if there was thunder and lighting in the winter. That was for spring and summer storms.

And in the springtime, there would be one or two strong storms and that would mostly be it. Later on, in my adulthood, more spring tornadoes started happening.

So...yep. It wasn't normal, though I reckon it is now.
The weather has changed over the decades.
I don't know what "normal" is anymore.
