Exhaustion encroaching but the show must go on...

Severe Thunderstorm Warnings:

...for Walker County until 10:15 pm
...for SE Coosa County until 9:45
...for Cullman County until 10
...for North Chilton County until 10

Intense thunderstorms continue in these areas. They are...for the most part...moving SE but there is redevelopment and back-building in some areas.

We are going to hear of a lot of three inch-plus rainfall amounts.

And, I am afraid more hail damge to roofs and automobiles than we want to believe

Tornado Watch expired at 9 pm

Severe Thunderstorm Watch continues.

In my 40 years of weather work, this is one of the most widespread hail events I can remember...especially with so many areas getting large hail.

Hang in there J.B. When our storm moved through the hail started as soon as the rain did. Some of the hail was exploding when it hit the ground. I"ve never noticed that happening before. It kinda reminded me of a snowball hitting the ground. One other thing I don't think the wind ever got above 10MPH.

Also noted a strong smell of pine trees or cedar trees outside.
