The NWS has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for Jefferson County. It goes until 11:00 p.m.
Storm is now just east of Brookwood County in eastern Tuscaloosa County. This storm will move into western Jefferson County. It will pass across mostly rural areas of western Jefferson County, passing west of North Johns, then eventually toward Mulga, Sylvan Springs and Maytown.
It produced significant tornado damage in Demopolis. Injuries have been reported.
The River Wood Apartments, Mauvilla Trailer Park and Twelve Oaks Trailer Park have been hit.
Funnel Cloud reported when tornado passed over I-59.
Rotation is not as impressive now. The shear locks have disappeared on our radar for now. Still, the storm should be taken very seriously.
Winds have gusted to 45 mph at our Birmingham Sky Cam. Winds over 50 mph will be possible even outside the showers.
