Blahahaha. Love it! James Spann is the man, thank God for his service!I thought this was hilarious & pretty awesome..
Yup..Spann Is The Man..Best meteorologist in the business..He's saved many many lives..I'd listen to him if I were The Irish..
I can tell you that being in the polygon sucks. I was there Christmas night. In the bathtub with kids, pillows, blankets, flashlights, lanterns, etc. haha
I know the feeling..I wasn't in any warning area Christmas..But..Have been in many many warnings over the years..Spann has a calm demeanor about him that helps calms the nerves until the warning is over..
We need a James Spann down here. Our weather guys have a way of scaring the CRAP out of children. :eek2: We had an EF-2 that was 600 yds wide and went for 16 miles Christmas night. 52 homes destroyed and we were 1 mile outside the path. I cannot imagine what it was like in T Town that night in April.
That's kinda minor in comparison with what Madison County gets on a regular basis. Many homes north of Huntsville were destroyed for the third time in ten years. I'm not denigrating what happened in Tuscaloosa County at all...
I don't know what it is about Tuscaloosa & Huntsville..They both seem like a magnet for large tornado's..
During the week days James does a "Weather Extreme" video twice a day on the ABC 33/40 Weather Blog..He will also post the videos daily on his FaceBook Page..He pretty much covers the entire US with what's going on weather wise..I watch his video everyday..He shows different weather maps & models he doesn't have time to show on TV..Brian Petere does the video for James on weekends & during holidays..Pretty Interesting stuff..

Back on January 23rd, we ended up inside the path of the EF3 that hit Trussville. In our neighborhood, we had 3 people with major injuries and about 4 or 5 more with minor injuries. In the subdivision that was hit just before ours, a 16 year old girl was killed.
I can't say how my experience compared with that in Tuscaloosa, but our experience was frightening because the tornado hit in the dark. We had sections of the roof that were missing or crushed under trees as well as broken windows and walls that were damaged by trees and debris. We had one car completely crushed by a large tree and another badly damaged (was totalled the next day), but my pickup only had minor debris damage. We weren't exactly sure how much damage had been done to our neighborhood, but we knew that it was bad because of the amount and types of debris that was scattered everywhere as well as the smell of broken pine and natural gas leaks everywhere.
I believe that in the end, about 16 homes were destroyed or condemned with probably another 20 or so having some type of damage. There were a few major injuries in the neighborhood, but everyone recovered from those. One of the greatest effects of the tornado was the destruction of almost all the trees along a 200 or so yard wide path in a neighborhood that had been heavily wooded prior. It will take years for the wooded areas to recover.
Crushing the Irish and sandwiching all this mess between consecutive national championships would help salve the pain a bit, however.
