A line of intense thunderstorms now moving across the area. A formal warning is not in effect, but a Significant Weather Alert continues for Jefferson, Shelby, St. Clair and Talladega Counties until 3:45.

I believe there is dangerous street flooding in Hoover and Jason Simpson reports already that 1.37 inches of rain has fallen quickly at the 33/40 studios in Riverchase. John Oldshue advises that water is almost up to the backdoor of the Weather Company office not far away.

When these storms came through Tuscaloosa County, there were several reports of wind damage. The most significant being that a radio tower over 100-feet tall being blown down in Northport.

OTHER REPORTS

* A couple of trees uprooted on County Road 3 SE of Millport.

* At Guin, in Marion County, police reported thunderstorm wind damage at 1:30 p.m. with numerous tree limbs blown off in the City of Guin.
