This is what spun up out of nowhere during Thursday afternoon rush hour. My daughter and I were sitting in the dentist's office when the storm first developed over Madison. At the time, it was producing very heavy rain and some penny-size hail. As the storm moved toward Huntsville proper, it became much stronger. The local television stations were so thrilled to have caught the storm/tornado on their camera network that they spent the better part of an hour Thursday evening talking about it. Although it did uproot a lot of very large trees and damage property, no one was seriously injured. A couple of teens were scared out of their wits when their truck was literally blown off the road and into a house by the tornado. I heard on Friday that the NWS believed it was an EF2 tornado. Scary!!!
I think all of us here were quiet surprised that we could have a tornado spin up in January, especially after we'd just spent the first 10 days of the month sub-freezing.
Kudos to whomever snapped this photo!

Several members of my photog group managed to get pictures of that thing, but non are quite as good as that one with 1st baptist in it.
Amazing pictures. I think the weather is becoming so strange. We had vast amounts of snow a couple of weeks ago and we have been having thunderstorms. But, thankfully, no tornadoes.
That one with 1st Baptist is fantastic.
It is very strange weather that we're having. I'm beginning to wonder what the next few months are going to hold for us. We've had our biggest snowfalls between early February and mid-March here in No. AL.
sheesh, is no one going to call it "the eggbeater church"? OK, I will.
WOW!!! These pics are amazing.
Our town had a devastating tornado in December back in the 70's.
You never know what the weather is gonna do here in the south!!
Hoping you have bread and milk and survive the impending snow storm. All I am hoping for is that I don't loss internet service. LOL!
