The NWS reports they are starting to hear reports of trees down in Fayette County…not surprising given the wind potential of these ferocious storms over Northwest Alabama.
There is tremendous concern about the potential for damaging winds and flooding with this powerful line of thunderstorms. It is moving east now at 35-40 mph. Faster is more good!
