Skywatcher Jeff White was on this storm earlier as it passed near Sylacauga. He reports:

James – I unfortunately was on the bad side of this storm approaching me head on and had a hill between me and Sylacauga and until the rotation topped the hill I could not identify and by time I could it was over me and gone – moving so fast and was about 500 feet aloft where I could see the rotation in the lowered cloud base and then could see the inflow when the rotation was to my east and I was looking at the direct east side of the rotation.

He says it is he first time he had ever heard the low rumble like a sub woofer far off as it came over the hill and over them.
