A severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado is moving through rural parts of northeastern Alabama. At 8:25 PM CDT, the storm was located about 7 miles northeast of Ider and 8 miles southwest of Trenton, moving east at 25 miles per hour.

This storm poses a serious threat with the potential to produce a tornado. Flying debris will be dangerous to anyone caught without shelter. Mobile homes could be damaged or destroyed, and roofs, windows, vehicles, and trees may sustain damage.

If you are in eastern Jackson or northeastern DeKalb County, take cover immediately. Move to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building and stay away from windows. If you are outside, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle, get to the closest substantial shelter right away and protect yourself from flying debris.
