Late Night Storm Update

By 10:30 tonight, thunderstorms had greatly decreased with the main one remaining over Jefferson County producing locally heavy rain but not severe. Showers extended from Birmingham eastward to Anniston.

At 10:22 pm, Dick Bell reported from Adamsville that moderate to heavy rain had been falling for the last 35 minutes with almost constant cloud to ground lightning.

Some more reports from the North Alabama afternoon and evening storms:

.....At Snead, in North Blount County where U.S. 278 intersects with state route 75, lightning struck the Baptist Health Center causing some structural damage.

.....Several trees uprooted across Blount County.

.....In Lawrence County, several transformers were struck by lightning at Moulton resulting in power outages.

.....In Cullman County, numerous trees were uprooted along U. S. 231 in the eastern part of the country near Joppa.

This will probably be our last update tonight since storms have diminished. But we will be here in case of another flareup.

Life goes on.....
