Last Night’s Central Alabama Storm Reports

Hailers were the rule across Central Alabama last night. Hailers are thunderstorms that produce tremendous amounts of hail. The largest was 1.75 inches in diameter. Windows were broken out of cars in Blount County.

What may have been a microburst downed trees over eastern Birmingham as a severe storm rolled through. Winds never even gusted at the Birmingham Airport, but less than 5 miles away, there were several reports of downed trees across the East Lake and Roebuck areas, including trees on one car. A person was injured in that situation. A couple of trees were reported down on structures.

Early this morning, Alabama Power reported that Birmingham area power outages were down to 3,800. Right after the storms hit last evening, they were as high as 9,600 in the Metro.

Here are the damage reports from the NWS Birmingham.
