Intense thunderstorms continue across North and Central Alabama this afternoon...
New severe thunderstorm warning just in for South Central Jefferson and northern Shelby Counties until 1:45 p.m
Severe thunderstorm warning in effect until 145 pm for southeastern Talladega and southwestern Clay County. Activity is strong over these counties and over into Randolph County.
In the Birmingham/Tuscaloosa metro areas...intense storms continue from Blount County, down through northern Jefferson County and back into central Tuscaloosa County approaching the city of Tuscaloosa. The huge storm over northern Jefferson County has apparently collapsed, producing a huge wind outflow to the southeast and east. I observed 45 mph winds in Trussville on Highway 11 with lots of blwoing dust from the Colonial Mall construction project. Lightning is now intense at this location.
Alston Keith in Inverness reports 1.40 inches of rain in 20 minutes. Heavy storms continue to build along the Jefferson/Shelby County line. They will push east into northern Shelby County.
Very strong storms are over southern Pickens County, migrating down into northern Sumter County.
The Storm Prediction Center has said that they may issue a severe thunderstorm watch shortly if conditions warrant.
Be alert for damaging microburst winds, deadly lightning, flooding rains and even some hail from these storms.

it's very clear population/income plays a bigger part than the storms.
