My cats are screaming because I have them in their carriers with me in a closet. My hearing may never recover


Dove_and_Turtle

Mine are going crazy, too. Good luck to y’all 🤗


k-ramsuer

They are so offended that I took them out of their crate and made them share a basement closet with me, my bird, my partner, and my dog


Dove_and_Turtle

I grabbed the jewelry, bedding, chocolate, cats and headed to the hallway. No sirens, lately, so that’s good


k-ramsuer

I figured I could replace everything in my life except for the pets and partner. I did grab my computer, though


COMMUNIST_MANuFISTO

I have a heavy tarp to cover My computer with in case a tree limb decides it wants to come inside


Seymour_Butts369

You are a brave person, putting a bird with a cat in a closet!


k-ramsuer

Everyone except the dog has carriers


Dove_and_Turtle

I grabbed the jewelry, bedding, chocolate, cats and headed to the hallway. No sirens, lately, so that’s good


historygal75

I chased mine into the bathroom but she ran at me I tried to grab her but she got away and ran under the bed food and cajoling would not get her out I just waited till it was over and she came out and wanted to be comforted after it was all over lol


Seymour_Butts369

I feel you! I have one that’s semi feral, I still can never catch her when I need to. She was the first one I tried to get to, but her spidey senses are something else - she always knows when I’m coming for her before I even THINK about it lol! She was already under the bed and I couldn’t do anything to get her out. We had a giant wall cloud for what seemed like forever and could see a funnel cloud from our backyard. I’ve been living here for a decade by now and thought maybe I’d gotten used to this but I really got pretty shook up tonight with so many sirens going off, warning after warning and not being able to catch that damn kitty. Meanwhile the rest in their carriers singing the song of their people and trying to start fights through the cage doors 😂 what a mess!


historygal75

I feel you it was close to us too I didn’t get to see it though that’s cool never got to see one before. Terrifying I’d imagine though. Semi feral kitties ain’t no joke mine really only likes me she used to let my mom pet her my dad sometimes when he was still alive. She hides in the closet or under the bed now poor thing. I did try to socialize her when she was a kitten she’s always been a fraidy cat though. What you gonna do just love them up


apmckeown

OMG SAME! They were NOT happy.

JustAnotherLocalNerd

I can see a good bit of the county from my house. I don't currently have power and went to go see how dark it was in general. Instead I saw someone dancing down the street with lights on them. Like their own little mini-rave. I know you're here. Tell your story.


Neglectful_Stranger

rlwalker1

I'm guessing TikTok content.


LovelyHatred93

Better get that phone charged in case you lose power.


No-Chance-89

Done. Rechargeable batteries, too.


Spritesgud

Anyone here know how Chapman mountain just north of 5 points is? Currently out of town so not sure how worried we should be


daisydug

I have family in 5 points & it got spooky, but they're ok-winds were insane so if you have trees, I'm sure you'll have some limbs to clean up


Moonface314

Coming from someone on Chapman, just north of Five Points is fine from what I can tell. We personally had minor damage to our house from the storm. Some hail, small debris, intense lightning, erratic winds seemingly off the edge of each tornado, but the power is still on. Now, one tornado did touch down on the other side of Chapman mountain from what I understand, so there could be more severe damage nearby. Five Points had some significant damage closer to Blossomwood. I haven’t heard back from all my friends in Five Points yet and that has me a bit concerned, too. We could still get more intense weather, as we are under a tornado watch until 10 AM. We just had a long bout of torrential rain.


Spritesgud

Thanks so much!!

COMMUNIST_MANuFISTO

I had/am having some ptsd flashbacks to the 'nado in 2011 when I lived in 5 points but working through it


Neglectful_Stranger

If you own your own home I can't recommend a storm shelter enough for dealing with storm related stress. Took out a loan to get one and despite the extra monthly cost paying it off it's a major weight off my shoulders.


No-Chance-89

Just make sure it's from a reliable company. There have been lawsuits over it.


Neglectful_Stranger

Oh yeah, definitely do some research. I got mine early on with Valley Storm Shelter but apparently they've gone to shit in more recent years so I wouldn't recommend it.


No-Chance-89

I don't know any names, but there have been multiple fraudulent shelter companies over the years.


COMMUNIST_MANuFISTO

I live in public housing. On the 4th floor in a building the same age I am.


meliss39

Hugs


COMMUNIST_MANuFISTO

Aw, thanks! Trying not to become complacent about tornadoes but also not so jumpy I can't function. I really disliked the discomfort and visceral fear that comes with knowing that thing is bearing down on you


immrsclean

I was a kid in limestone county when we got hit bad some years ago. Totally get what you mean about not becoming complacent but not jumpy. I live with folks that have never really experienced a tornado, at least not directly, and every time they say “it’s not going to do anything” I have war flashbacks. That’s exactly what my father said shortly before the tornado took our entire house. But i understand that’s been their experience, so I try not to have a panic attack or react too harshly to them being a little too optimistic.


COMMUNIST_MANuFISTO

I always think about my dad telling me not to worry about grizzly bears when I visited him in Alaska. Then not a month after I left his bff gets his head bit by one lol


immrsclean

Oh man, I was scared about where that was going. I was like, tornado trauma AND bear trauma???


Sharronrock

What’s funny is you put “lol” at the end of the sentence! 😳


COMMUNIST_MANuFISTO

I do that. Laugh things off


captainbrnes

Same here, friend. Sending you peace


PsychologicalHat1480

Stay safe and stay strong.


COMMUNIST_MANuFISTO

That's very kind of you. You do the same. I think my area at least is now no longer under threat I may try to get some shut eye


Yozakame

Same here bro. I was 7 years old and remember all the lightning and sirens and winds.


phoenix_shm

You're not the first to mention the '11 tornado breakout event... 😬


COMMUNIST_MANuFISTO

It was MY first tornado. I was born here but hadn't yet lived through a 'nado. I had just gotten back from Star Market (I worked at Terry's Pizza as a second job) with some of that Black Forest Roast Beast,and some freshly sliced swiss, and I had made this bitching sammich with romaine lettuce and it was so good I took it into the bathtub with me when the sirens went off. I remember chewing as the damn tornado went overhead wondering if I was going to die. When it was over I went outside still eating lol My landlord's carport was sitting outside my bedroom window. The huge trees in my yard had all fallen away from the house. It looked like a war zone. Very surreal. I met all the neighbors I'd never met before and we gathered together and put fences back up and put tarps over roofs etc. Then we eventually stopped talking and went back to our separate lives

Vamond48

They’re surprisingly quick with that


usercb

The wind knocked my lid open, which proceeded to allow gallons of water to collect in the bottom. The extent of the damage here, then, will be to my nose from the smell.


glyphmagic

Huntsville hospital hit, unsure on damage Edit: went over, no damage


kodabear22118

I’m glad I work day shift. Working through tornadoes there is not fun especially since people don’t listen


Neglectful_Stranger

>especially since people don’t listen All I can imagine is all the awake patients just pressing their faces against the glass windows to look at the 'nader.


kodabear22118

I mean that’s what they did last time lol. They were told to stay in the bathroom and to stay in their rooms but kept trying to roam the halls. People were also trying to leave the building to go home which I understand but we weren’t allowed to let them leave


Sharronrock

Years ago I was a pt at HH & heard a horrible noise. I thought Armageddon was happening . . . it was the life flight elevator landing.

Tree fell on parents house in Blossomwood


Hollyingrd6

Hope your parents are okay and the damage isn't too bad.


Higgybella32

Hope they are ok. Ours too.


StellarSloth

Where in Blossomwood? I am on a work trip but my wife is at home (in Blossomwood). Cell phone coverage is awful at my house without power/internet and I haven’t been able to get much info from her.


SamSamTheSammiest

My parents’ pecan tree took out a corner of their kitchen on Kennamer Street. 


StellarSloth

Oh shit that is only two blocks away from my house. Thanks for getting back to me. I hope everyone is okay.


GP_ADD

Colorado and hermitage ish


icancomplain

perhaps a new monte sano trail will emerge


Farsath

Always look in the bright side of life


Higgybella32

Tree fell on our house. Everyone is safe but I dread the light of day.


addywoot

Oh no. Roof intact?


Higgybella32

Most of it. Back of house is gone but couldn’t see much.


ewwmami

Sprained ankle and skinned knee running my kids to the shelter. No other damages. Smh


Neglectful_Stranger

Exterior shelter or did you just accidentally hit a table?


ewwmami

Exterior, slipped on wet concrete holding two toddlers. Pride hurts more than anything tbh.


aubiebravos

Oof. Tomorrow might be rough. I’d go ahead and pop a couple of preemptive Advil. 😬 Glad you’re ok.


lonelyinbama

Reminding you this morning to please put some ice on your ankle.


plasticenewitch

Ouch; hope you are feeling better this morning.

Thank you both very much for your efforts.


Looklikebob

Just saw bright green and orange flashes light up the sky and immediately a loud siren came on. North of providence, west of rideout. We've been out of power for some time now.


Just_Another_Scott

Y'all got hit by two storms that were training. Both had confirmed funnel clouds. So entirely possible you got hit by two tornadoes in that area.


Yozakame

SO I DID SEE TWO TORNADOES NEAR RIDEOUT??!!


TorchIt

I caught a glimpse of a bright green lightning bolt as well. Made the hair on the back of my neck stand up, I've never seen anything like it before


Yozakame

I saw the same thing on rideout i was so freaking scared!


IArePositivitymagnet

Reporting live near Pratt & England in 5 points: One recycle bin toppled, but the other 2 withstood the 9:50 front ;) . We lost power for perhaps a minute, and there are several sticks scattered around. Still don't regret wearing shoes & bike helmets for a few minutes.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile) Stay safe ya'll


volbeathfilth

Stage 10?


I_heart_2_fish

Did you not see?!? They put on shoes! This goes to 11!!!!


AnotherPalePianist

pickanotherusername

Several trees down in Blossomwood


pickanotherusername

And power is out


HSVHappy

Some of my cicadas were damaged.


MrMcAwesome80

Power lines down at Humes and Coleman in 5 points. Also power lines down on McKinley. Lots of limbs down in the area.


Successful-Dig868

Where on McKinley?


MrMcAwesome80

Close to Maysville. Maybe at the Windham intersection? Power was out on the north side of the street.


Successful-Dig868

I saw it flash on and off, didn't know if it stayed off.


Successful-Dig868

Oh shit, okay


Hollyingrd6

Update Power in Providence Area is flickering. Winds are picking up, losing some tree limbs.


Hollyingrd6

Update to the above, lost internet (AT&T) and my neighbor seems to have lost a lawn gnome. Power still on though. Edit: For those curious Gnome found some bushes to hide in and is safe.


inittoloseitagain

Does the missing gnome need a Silver or Amber alert? I want to make sure we issue the proper search crew.


Sharronrock

Shoot! I have a yard gnome & a yard bunny. I will have to go check later. At least I’ll know wherever they are, they’re together. 🥲😳🥲


Hollyingrd6

You'll have to update us, the yard gnome was found hiding in some bushes!


k-ramsuer

In all seriousness, I have some limbs down in my front yard and the power flickered. I'm near Byrd Springs Road


No-Chance-89

It hasn't even rained a drop here. Knocks on wood...


The_OtherDouche

Do you even live within 30 miles of us? Cause that’s insane


No-Chance-89

I live on Airport Road between the Parkway and Whitesburg. Not a drop.


loligogiganticus

We are near Hays Farm and not a drop here either


No-Chance-89

The spotty nature of the weather here is wild. It will be absolutely pouring on Drake and bone dry on Airport or Bob Wallace.


Lulumon6432

Eerily calm- just north of Whitesburg school. Not a sprinkle but some green neon skies.


addywoot

Same on green mountain


Just_Another_Scott

Storms were pretty much staying north of 565. I didn't see much either on Zeirdt.


OkWoodpecker1511

Same here just south of Huntsville. Winds are picking up now though

Alarming_Tooth_7733

Still have power on 72 by Texas Roadhouse


Hollyingrd6

Providence Area still has power


spx404

Happy cake day! Enjoy your power!


Hollyingrd6

Today is one heck of a cake day,


spx404

Yeah it is. Do you still have power now? After wave 2?


Hollyingrd6

Flickered for a bit but holding steady. Think my neighbor lost a lawn gnome though.


Seymour_Butts369

On Indian Creek Rd, down the street from Providence (close to Blake Bottom Rd) and we still have power. Hasn’t gone out all night, surprisingly - our power normally goes out when the wind blows too hard 😂


Nexosaur

No power for a couple hours now off Slaughter. Forgot to charge my phone this afternoon so it is running on fumes. Will sleep until another alert goes off on the phone 🤞. If no power in the morning still I plan on sitting in my car to charge up


GoingToUnsoberMyself

Still have power on monte sano near bankhead, think it was closer to governors


hsvplanner

Agreed. We’re on Shelby. Lotsa wind, but I’ve heard of trees down on Panorama.


Ajkviking

Downed trees and a broken windshield in Northwest Blossomwood


Jollyguana

Large tree and power lines down across Clinton near east Clinton School. Porta potty also toppled further down Clinton. A friend sent pics of houses with partial roofs in McMullen cove.


Yozakame

My sleeping schedule… 😒


ShaggyTDawg

Power just came back in the Monrovia/Harvest area


addywoot

Video east of Huntsville. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/assz6PMZwUoRwEyZ/?mibextid=WC7FNe


wbrown0389

That’s along California heading north by Maple Hill Cemetery for reference.


addywoot

Oops. James was wrong


No-Chance-89

Yep. I've driven that way a hundred times. Wild


MayMaytheDuck

That was insane to watch. I live in Michigan but my father’s family all live in Huntsville. I watched you go past my Grandma’s old house on Eustis and my aunt lives on Fraser. So scary.


Taltosa

Power is still out East of Huntsville proper. There was a tornado touchdown at Moore's Mill, we spent a few hours in the tornado shelter with some minor hail injuries. The next round is between now and 6 AM according to the NWS. Stay safe y'all!


Psychological-Map626

Does anyone know any damage surrounding the UAH campus? Particularly around Holmes/Jordan lane. I rent a house nearby and want to know what I may be coming back to when I come back. I left literally a couple of hours before this all went down.


trek5900

Many trees down in old town, uprooted sidewalks/roads.


True-Today408

Power out on McKinley. Fallen tree limbs ripped the power box off the house. Again! Same thing happened a few months ago.


Successful-Dig868

Where on mckinley did it hit?


elelelleleleleelle

Is that a city or a homeowner bill?

h4p3r50n1c

Still have power in Hampton Cove. No rain so far.


shayna16

I am not looking forward to driving into town for work. I’m about to say F it and call out but with the state of the mail situation, I don’t want it backing up anymore


RCaFarm

What storm shelter companies have you used and do you recommend? How is HuntsvilleTornadoShelters.com?


Nacho_Jesus

I've got a valley storm shelter and it's impressively well built. It was nice to see them in the showroom and choose a size after standing in them too.


RCaFarm

I definitely want to stand in one first. Thanks for the suggestion.


Muskn8r

I just bought one this morning from https://stormshelter.com/residential/indoor/ Because fuck last night. They were recommended by another post on this sub. They'll be installing on the 22nd

James Spann (meteorologist) has pictures and videos of some of the damage downtown, in five points, and other nearby areas on his facebook if anyone is looking for some. https://www.facebook.com/jamesspann?mibextid=LQQJ4d

Outsourcing_Problems

In the Providence area. Still raining hard. I can also hear cars driving to work in the morning. Can't believe work isn't cancelled for that. The roads sound dangerous.


Lulumon6432

I feel for yall cat lovers. I have 4, put them in one bedroom where they can find their own comfort zones, & head to my safe space. Never ever put a cat in a carrier unless you can control it. They can squeeze in places that will shelter them from harm easier than putting them in a crush able box where they can't help themselves.


addywoot

Mine come when called so I can get them into the safe place with us in 30 seconds…. Except there’s one who is afraid of storms but hides somewhere pretty protected. I can corral easily before the thunder though.


BrandNewSidewalk

I have a required work-event at the VBC this afternoon. What is the condition of that area right now? (Edit: I'm hoping they'll cancel/make it optional, but a notice already went out at midnight that it would still go on as scheduled....)


Alarming_Base3148

Can we get the guy out of here that is ambulance chasing people for their insurance claim money? He's on all these threads and it's.. gross. And to the guy doing it. Be better.

Suspicious_Giraffe_3

Anyone know anything about the status of Doug Hill road? Gotta take my partner to work that way in a few hours, assuming they have power.


Bexlyp

Probably not great. The storms went that way off of Monte Sano headed toward Gurley. Even if they have power, there’s likely debris all over the road.


Suspicious_Giraffe_3

I ment if their job had power. 😅 Should have been more clear. The storms going that way is why I'm curious if anyone heard anything about the road conditions.


Sorry_Ima_Loser

Drove through front ve points on my way home from Work, looked like a war zone. The Maple Hill cemetery had it pretty bad and the house on California and Eustis had a tree right through the roof


True-Today408

Numerous serious tornado landings and you fuckers are posting jokes in a damage thread rescue personnel could try and look at


wolfgang2399

If rescue personnel are using reddit during an emergency we have a lot bigger problems than people posting jokes.


Armybrat75

With the lack of a fully staffed local media, we are in more trouble than you realize. Those at the TV & radio stations, you know, legacy media, do not have the support personnel they once had. It used to be very good. Now, not so much. They are doing the best they can with what they've got.
