Severe Weather in Gadsden

This report just in...

Gadsden [Etowah Co, AL] public reports TSTM WND DMG at 06:26 PM CDT -- pilot at gadsden airport reported estimated wind gust of 65 to 75 miles an hour blew a tied down airplane away...they have not been able to locate the aircraft.

The Gadsden area storm looks enormous by naked eye from where I live in NE Trussville. One of the biggest anvils I have seen. Storm looks big enough to cover a county.

Severe Thunderstorm Warning continues for Etowah County till 7:15 pm.

Nickle size hail in Rainbow City just south of Gadsden.

I'd have to agree with that estimate, it's been a long time since i've seen the such large trees bent over that far.
