From Starkville...

A quick note from the Southeast Severe Storms Symposium on the campus of Mississippi State University.

J.B. Elliott is speaking now... doing a great job sharing information and pictures from some of the great Alabama tornado outbreaks in the 1970s, including the April 3-4, 1974 "Superoutbreak" and the April 4, 1977 Smithfield F5 in the northern part of Birmingham.

He is showing some great old slides now from his days at the National Weather Office in the 70s.

Quite a shock this morning when we discovered there were NO DOUGHNUTS available at the symposium this year! Thanks to Mike Brown who managed to find a bag of doughnuts for J.B.

More later...

is there a site where i can look at historical daily data for birmingham? for example, if i wanted to know what the temperature was on December 19, 1972 or June 3, 1993.

Thanks.

Bebes,
Try NOAA's Climate Diagnostics Center at

May be a link there that would help.
