Looks like a rough night ahead for us in Alabama

We just went under a Tornado Watch until 1am. It keeps popping up on my computer. It is very eerie outside. I just started the grill and there is just a strange feeling outside. I hope it is not what is about to come tonight. It is windy here and very muggy. There is a line coming in from MS.

Been rough the last 30 minutes here as well... frequent lightning and torrential rain. I'm JUST outside the Tornado Watch but I'm getting the northern side of the storms that are severe in the county below me.

My best friend lives there. Thanks for reporting this. I am going to call her in 10 minutes when my cellphone goes to nights. She called earlier but I was not able to get to the phone.
