Seems like the weather has gone crazy across Central Alabama lat this afternoon and this evening. Here is a quick look just before 7:00 p.m. Sorry that I couldn't keep the blog up to speed, but I was on a continuous radio broadcast during the Walker County Tornado Warning.
The Walker County Tornado Warning expired on time at 6:45 p.m. The NWS is checking with the EMA Director in Walker County for the possibility of some damage.
At 7pm, the Walker County EMA reported "trees down all over Jasper>" (That report relayed from the National Weather Service)
SERIOUS FLASH FLOODING
Tremendous amounts of rain dumped over NE Jefferson County and eventually North Jefferson County late this afternoon and evening. By 7:00 p.m. this evening at my place in NE Trussville, we had measured 2.66 inches of rain including 2 inches in less than 30 minutes, but I missed the heaviest.
Bill Murray, who lives on the south side of Trussville, was drenched with 5-2/3 inches.
Justin Hineman, the 3340 Weather Watcher between Trussville and Leeds reports 4.01 inches.
Roads were closed for a time in the Roebuck-Huffman area and a car dealership in Center Point had a partial roof collapse. The National Weather Service has reissued the Flash Flood Warning for North and NE Jefferson County until 8:45.
Flash Flood Warnings are now in effect for parts of the following counties:
Winston
Walker
Cullman
Fayette
Jefferson
Shelby
St. Clair
More information as it becomes available.
