4/24/2010: Tornado Outbreak

Just wanted to post this great map that was made by “weatherguy” of Talkweather.com of the current tornado tracks that the National Weather Service offices have surveyed over the last few days.  We are still working on getting some still shots from our videos together to post up along with the video.  We will update this post as we work on this process. 

Hale County, Alabama Supercell 4/24/2010

Oktibbeha County, Mississippi Supercell/Tornado 4/24/2010

The two supercells above are the storms that we captured on video while streaming live back to FOX-6 in Birmingham. These storms were very devastating for many areas. We also intercepted the supercell thunderstorm that later in the evening produced the EF-3 tornado across portions of Walker, Jefferson, and Blount counties. We witnessed a vehicle thrown into the rock ledge wall on the side of future I-22 near Cordova along with homes damaged on CR-20 in Walker County. This area was shut off by emergency crews helping clear the debris and doing search and rescue operations. We are glad that we were able to divert some traffic to assist these guys. It’s vital to keep these areas clear unless you are clearing debris, working search and rescue, or are a paramedic. We have much more….just so much video and stuff to dig through. I will post up more as I get time during this week. Thanks to everyone who aided with victims on this day as many lives were changed forever.
