I was trying to get home form AIT in DC on Dec 16th 2000. I got stuck in Atlanta because the weather was so bad in southeast Alabama. My dad was in Abbeville on his way to Atlanta to get me when he had to skirt around a tornado that took out all the trailers and buildings there on the intersection of HWY 27 and 431.There was an outbreak of tornado's in mid-December 2000. Right now from my perspective it doesn't seem to bad outside compared to then. That day I think the temperature got up to around 80 with very strong gusts of wind and then behind the storms the temp dropped rapidly into the 30's with a few inches of snow on the ground the next day. Right now it is a bit muggy but it isn't very windy. According to my outside thermometer the temp is about 67 degrees which is warm for this time of year but not scary warm.
Now I live in Madison county and not looking forward to what is coming our way. Stay weather aware!!!
