November 15: Tornado Outbreak - Southeast US - 9 killed

[CrazyC83]

Damage reported near Lafayette in Chambers County, Alabama(that's 20 miles south of here) to a gas station with numerous pine trees down. Highway 431 is blocked. Per WTVM.

It is hard to count the tornadoes due to the SPC putting them down as wind reports a lot, and the day break...the best guess of the reports I can make is 26.

Looks like the strongest tornado is an high F2 or low F3 based on the Montgomery Fun Zone tornado. INCREDIBLE that no one died there; that building was basically reduced to rubble.

Yeah, I saw that. It's amazing. The local TV anchor said that the owner moved everyone to the lone part of the building that survived.

[Bunkertor]

That event is still going on. Unbelievable-i watched yesterday night the mess starting up...

Decade highs in GER with 19,8°C tied.

It likely will continue into the evening - and even overnight - in Georgia and the Carolinas.

This was right down the street from me. We were huddled up under a staircase. I'm so very glad that no one died or was seriously hurt in that.

AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL AND SW GA...CNTRL FL PANHANDLE

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 858...

VALID 152128Z - 152300Z

THE SEVERE THREAT WILL CONTINUE LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS SW GA AND
THE CNTRL FL PANHANDLE. A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE
STRONGER ROTATING STORMS. THE SEVERE THREAT MAY EXPAND EWD INTO
ECNTRL GA BY EARLY EVENING AND A WW MAY BECOME NECESSARY.

A WELL-DEVELOPED SQUALL-LINE IS CURRENTLY ONGOING VERY NEAR THE AXIS
OF A 70 KT LOW-LEVEL JET EXTENDING SSWWD FROM WRN GA INTO THE WRN FL
PANHANDLE. THE LATEST OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS SHOWS MLCAPE VALUES AHEAD
OF THE LINE RANGING FROM AROUND 1000 J/KG IN THE FL PANHANDLE TO 250
J/KG ACROSS SW GA. ALTHOUGH THE AIRMASS IS WEAKLY UNSTABLE...STRONG
FORCING AHEAD OF AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH ALONG WITH LIFT FROM THE
LOW-LEVEL JET SHOULD SUSTAIN THE LINE EWD ACROSS MUCH OF SRN GA AND
THE FL PANHANDLE THROUGH EARLY EVENING. THE SHEAR ENVIRONMENT IS
STILL FAVORABLE FOR TORNADOES ESPECIALLY WITH THE STRONGER ROTATING
STORMS EMBEDDED IN THE LINE. AS THE LINE MOVES EWD INTO WEAKER
INSTABILITY...THE OVERALL SEVERE THREAT AND COVERAGE SHOULD LESSEN.
A WW MAY STILL BE NECESSARY EAST OF WW 858 BY EARLY EVENING IF THE
LINE CAN REMAIN ORGANIZED.

Incredible.

Roughly 6.85" in my rain gauge just now!!!!

It only measures up to 6 1/2".

It has finally just ended.

[Opal storm]

Man we had some bad storms today.My power has been out for several hours this afternoon,I just got it back on in the past 30 minutes.The neighborhood is a huge mess,several trees have been damaged and uprooted and powerlines are laying out in the road.A telephone pole down the street was completely snapped in half!I'm just glad we didn't get any tornados,I saw the damage from MS on tv and it's just sad.

Here's a pic from my backyard.

[Weatherfreak14]

Well, im here near beaufort, sc and im bracing for some impact after midnight and i hope everything will be ok. the line looks to be on a weakening trend but now looks to be restructuring itself as im practicilly im in the path of one bow echo. im not sure yet just goin have wait and see.

[Opal storm]

I just watched the local news and there was a lot of damage done in the area today from heavy rain and the wind.The I-10 bridge in Pensacola was actaully shutdown briefly today due to the bad weather.There was also a lot of wind damage and power outages all across the area,and some tornado damage in Alabama.Lots of cleaning up to do after today.

Yeah I heard that too. This has been hard to follow due to a lot of tornadoes showing up as wind reports (unconfirmed) and different dates due to the overnight start.
