Here we go with another Severe Thunderstorm Warning. The NWS posted it for Tuscaloosa County until 9:45.

Radar indicated a severe thunderstorm near Brookwood, east of the city of Tuscaloosa, and moving SW at 25. It may produce winds over 60 mph.

Much, much lightning in this thunderstorm, which is always very dangerous. Places that may be affected by this severe thunderstorm include Tuscaloosa, Northport, Holt and Fosters.

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning was also in effect until 9:15 for Walker County. Thunderstorms persist over the western part of Walker County and appear to be quite strong.

The lightning show from that Walker county storm is quite impressive. We are in Marion county, and we have a great view of just tremendous amounts of lightning. No rain here though. I think my neighborhood is inside a dome or something.

Hey, heard the storm over toward Springville as we were getting ready to go out for dinner..right at time to go it blew in..just beat the rain. I had checked the radar and saw the path and knew we would stay ahead of it. Sure enough by the time we got to Gardendale at a wonderful buffet place called"Fire Mountain"..highly reccommend it! Sat down and finished my salad the thunder started..thankfully by the time dessert was under the belt the rain had diminished and the drive home was quiet! All the way home though much evidence of rain and wind. Reporting from my corner in Jefferson Cty, Blount and St. Clair. I sit in the triangle! Good evening one and all..
