For me it was mostly happening from around 0900 till 11 am. Clear as far as I can see now.

 

We got a bunch of hail also. These pics are directly behind my house. Didnt even hear the tree go down.

 

That looks bad and just from the wind? Glad the tree didn’t damage anything.

 

Wife’s parents had a big poplar come down behind their house on a shed up in Randolph county.

 

Boom! Lightning photography is really my passion. 167 shots to get one. The hunt was on tonight! It's so cool because this shot will literally never happen again. Ever.

 

That sucks

 

Dang

 

Good morning everyone, have a great, safe and blessed Friday.

 

Good morning y’all. Everyone make it through the night with minimal damage?

 

Good morning Jeff.

From AlabamaWX

RADAR CHECK: A large mass of rain covers Southeast Alabama just before daybreak; the rain there will end later this morning. The sky becomes partly to mostly sunny, and today’s high will be close to 80 degrees. We note the average high for Birmingham on May 10 is 81. Tonight will be clear and cooler with a low in the 50s… some of the colder spots over North Alabama could reach the upper 40s early tomorrow morning.



The weekend will be dry and pleasant; the sky will be partly to mostly sunny tomorrow and Sunday with highs in the 77-83 degree range.

NEXT WEEK: The week looks generally wet and unsettled. We will have periods of rain and possibly a thunderstorm on a daily basis, with the likely exception of Wednesday. Rain amounts through the week could exceed four inches over South Alabama, with over two inches possible for the northern counties of the state. For now we don’t see any major signal of severe thunderstorm potential, and highs will be mostly in the low 80s. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1905: On Wednesday, May 10th, 1905, the Oklahoma Territory was struck by one of the worst natural disasters in early American history. Tornadoes pounded the southwest part of the Territory, one of which flattened the town of Snyder. The “official” death toll is listed today as 97, but the actual number of victims may never be known.

ON THIS DATE IN 2010: On this day, Oklahoma experienced its largest tornado outbreak since May 3, 1999. Fifty-five twisters tore through the state, including two rated EF4. The EF4 storms took three lives and injured 81 people. Ironically, both EF4 tornadoes struck Norman, Oklahoma, home of the Storm Prediction Center and the National Severe Storms Laboratory.
