Thanks for the update J.B. I have a feeling it won't be the last either. I hope people have reviewed their severe weather plans for tonight. Lightening continues to intensify here in T-Town and it seems as if the temperature is rising but I think the humidity is rising instead (or dew point-- which is most likely). Ill be keeping an eye on the sky here in T-Town and keep up the good (and hard I'm sure) work J.B. and the crew. I'm praying for you guys and not to be tempting but I just finished off a nice steak which was really good. I hope you get some food soon!

Just got through watching James update. Torndoe warning for Marengo still in effect. He also said he still expected this to be a long night and a possible severe weather or tornadoe outbreak. Keeping an eye on the sky in T-Town and praying for the ABC 33/40 weather crew and all of Alabama.

I live alone in the middle of cow pastures in Holly Pond, Alabama. I will be traveling north to be with my mom in Huntsville, since I don't have a tornado shelter here.

Hope this doesn't get bad.

The Lord be with us all tonight.

Conditions here in T-Town are inproving. It is getting cooler though there is still a humid northerly wind blowing. Is this decieving? PLEASE ANSWER J.B., JAMES, OR AYONE FROM THE WEATHER CREW. I think it is but then I didn't go to college to study this stuff. Keepin an eye out here in T-Town and praying for all of Alabama tonight especially the ABC 33/40 weather crew. Thanks James, J.B., Brian, and Bill for your hard work!
