Interesting weather in AL, 3-2-12

Zoe's having a nap, but we're going to have to head in to Birmingham in about an hour to pick up my wife. I'm checking my flight bag, and will pack a few extra things, including our bicycle helmets, in case the weather starts popping before I can get us all back home. I don't plan on seeing a major city-wide disaster, but my XD will also be in the bag, just in case.
In addition to the basics, I've thrown in my leather work gloves and a few extra bottles of water. The gas tank is full, and after the last few events, I'm nervous as Micheal Moore at a cannibal convention.

Oh, how nice. The National Weather Service is interrupting a clear, informative weather program to give us one of those robotized text messages.

Hope all is well. I'm realy surprised there hasn't been more traffic on ZS about this tornado outbreak. Hope anyone living in the effected area is ok.

So far we've been pretty lucky. I saw some vertical development that could have posed a threat, but it passed over us without incident. We're on the lookout until well after midnight, though.
Any ZSers in the area, if there's damage, we oughta post it in case there's an opportunity to help each other out.

Hope y'all came out of it alright. Those were some serious storms. Down here in South Texas we were at 80 and humid yesterday and then the temps plummeted to 50 by midnight and now it's cool and bone dry. Guess that was the big storm passing us far to the north...

We're fine here. Just got blown around a little, had a short burst of hail. I haven't seen anything from down south a bit, but apparently a twister came down and swept through an area where I used to live.

WOW........... just WOW!

I am sure the people in the area are still stunned. My thoughts are with them!

I am SO glad to see the reunion pic of the man and his best friend, I am sure there are others that weren't that fortunate.

I love the look on the dog's face. It's like, "Hey, man, of course you came for me. You always do."
