Severe Thunderstorm Warning continues until 1:30 AM for Southeast Shelby County, including the Columbiana area.
Much, much lightning with this storm.
It is along a line of storms that extends from Shelby County southeastward to south of Columbus, Georgia.
The Shelby County storm is, by far, the strongest one now. Further down the line, the storms have diminished considerably.
The Shelby County storm continues toward the SW moving toward Columbiana, Calera and Montevallo (just to name a few locations.)
This thunderstorm produced hail in Childersburg and Wilsonville. An observer in Childersburg said the lightning was the worst so far this year in that area.
Interesting to note that the Shelby County warning is the only Severe Thunderstorm Warning in the entire USA at this hour!
