Big Storms To The North

Some damage reports from our Skywatcher network… and Matt Teal with Cherokee County EMA:

*Tree down near Gaylesville on Hwy 68…complete road blockage

*Lots of wind damage associated with trees and powerlines and some roof damage near Spring Creek

And, from our Skywatcher in Gadsden:

*Reporting in today from the top of Noccalula Mountain at Fire Station Number 5, have received several strong gusts of wind recently. Drizzling Rain. Thunder rumbling off in the distance.

Any of the storms across North Alabama have the potential to produce microbursts this afternoon… local areas of damaging straight line winds… and all of the storms will feature very vivid lightning…
