We have a very dangerous situation tonight with a powerful rotating supercell storm near Cordova right now heading directly toward Birmingham. It could be on the ground right now.

It is visible from the Co Road 61 exit at Cordova on Corridor X. It appears to be on the ground.

It is close to Dora. It will pass near Sumiton and cross old US-78.

This tornado will move toward Morris and Gardendale. Then it will be a problem for the northeastern part of the City of Birmingham.

Go ahead and make preparations now in the Birmingham metro.

Damage is being reported in Jasper.
