At mid afternoon, the strongest thunderstorms were very near the center of the state...in Chilton and nearby counties.
The NWS issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Chilton County, including the city of Clanton until at least 3:30 pm. The thunderstorm was moving SE and may dump out large hail and produce damaging winds.
Lighting is fierce in these storms...and of course very dangerous.
Rain is also coming down in buckets. Based on doppler radar estimates, as much as 4 inches of rain has fallen with some of these storms. However, hail can alter the accuracy of those estimates and make them appear too high.
