Here is the situation…

The red outlines are severe thunderstorm warnings.

We want to get through this without any injuries today. Be in a safe shelter before the storms arrive. Leave mobile homes for more substantial structures until the storms pass. Be alert to the deadly lightning. A house in Clay has been struck by lightning.

Flood warnings are in effect for Jefferson County. Turn around, don’t drown. Stay away from flowing or standing water.

A funnel cloud was sighted near Arab. With the turbulent skies today, cloud formations are going to look suspicious. Probably not a tornado, but can’t rule one out along the leading edge of the line of storms.
