Yeah, I forgot about that - that would certainly seem like EF-5 damage if it verified.

1007 PM CST FRI MAR 02 2012

AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL AND E-CNTRL AL / W-CNTRL AND NWRN GA / SERN
MS

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 63...

VALID 030407Z - 030600Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 63 CONTINUES.

GREATEST TORNADO POTENTIAL SEEMS TO BE FOCUSED ACROSS CNTRL AND
E-CNTRL AL DURING THE NEXT 1-2 HRS BEFORE MOVING EWD INTO W-CNTRL
AND NWRN GA AFTER 06Z. A NEW TORNADO WATCH WILL BE ISSUED WITHIN
THE HOUR FOR PORTIONS OF CNTRL-SRN AL AND SERN MS.

RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS AN INTENSE AND LIKELY TORNADIC SUPERCELL
EXHIBITING VELOCITIES SEEMINGLY CONDUCIVE FOR A STRONG TORNADO
--STRADDLING CHILTON AND AUTAUGA COUNTIES IN ALABAMA-- WITH THIS
STORM PROJECTED TO MOVE INTO E-CNTRL AL WITHIN A FAVORABLY
MOIST/UNSTABLE LOW LEVEL AIRMASS. KMXX VAD SHOWS 400-500 0-1 KM SRH
WHICH WILL SUPPORT NOT ONLY SUSTAINING LOW LEVEL MESOCYCLONES BUT
POSE THE RISK FOR MULTIPLE TORNADOES WITH ANY VIGOROUS SUPERCELL
MOVING FROM CNTRL AL EWD INTO WRN GA. ALTHOUGH CAPE HAS DECREASED
IN PART DUE TO DIURNAL COOLING...A VERY MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER IN
WHICH STORMS CAN ROOT THEMSELVES IN THE NEAR-SURFACE LAYER WILL POSE
NOT ONLY A DMGG WIND/LARGE HAIL THREAT...BUT ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF
A FEW STRONG TORNADOES. FARTHER W...A SQUALL LINE WITH EMBEDDED
STRONGER UPDRAFTS MAY FOSTER A LOWER /ALBEIT NOT INSIGNIFICANT/
TORNADO/DMGG WIND RISK FROM MESOCYCLONES/MESOVORTICIES AS THE LINE
PROGRESSES EWD FROM E-CNTRL MS AND N-CNTRL AL INTO CNTRL AL AND NWRN
GA.
