Powerful thunderstorms continue across the southern half of Jefferson County from just west of downtown Birmingham to near McCalla, and covering much of the western part of the county.
New storms are firing near the Airport down to around Leeds. The activity is moving a little north of east now. Areas generally south of I-59 will get the heaviest weather.
All of the storms contain incredible lightning and torrential rains as well as the potential for damaging winds. A house fire is reported in Hueytown on S Parkell Avenue. Lots of burglar alarms in Pleasant Grove from the thunder.
A severe thunderstorm warning continues until 4:15 for the south half of Jefferson and northern Shelby counties.
Richard Viola in Pleasant Grove reports 0.67 inches so far. John Talbot in Concord/Hueytown says he is loving the 1.08 in his rain bucket so far.
These storms mean business…
