This year’s Storm Alert 2005 tour will end tonight with our annual Birmingham metro show. This year we will be at Mountaintop Church in Vestavia, which is not far off U.S. 31. The church building is large and comfortable, and great for multi-media shows like ours. The show begins art 7:00 but we encourage you to get down there early to get a good seat and a free t-shirt. You can meet our entire weather team, including the “new guy” Jason Simpson. In fact, one of our video features this year is on Jason and his childhood up in Holly Pond in Cullman county.
Our Storm Alert tour is designed to get Alabamians prepared for the spring tornado season, which is getting underway now. We can be thankful that cold and stable air means no thunderstorms for the next 10 days or so, but we all know the storms of spring will come sooner or later. The prime tornado season runs through March, April, and May, with another big season in late fall in November and December. Some of the most violent tornadoes in the world have touched down here, and we must be prepared.
Our last major spring tornado was the horrible F5 twister that killed 32 people in Jefferson county in the Birmingham area on April 8, 1998. Since then, most of our significant tornadoes have come during the fall season.
During tonight’s Storm Alert show, you will see some great Alabama storm stories, including Hurricane Ivan, the east Alabama ice storm, and the severe weather and flooding just before Thanksgiving last November. And, at the end of the show, we will give some lucky people a chance to test their weather knowledge and win some cool prizes. Once again, this is your last chance to see the show, so we hope to see you tonight at Mountaintop Church in Vestavia at 7:00!
