AND THIS JUST IN, WE HAVE NOW FIVE CONFIRMED TORNADOES ACROSS ALABAMA, ALL FROM LAST NIGHT’S STORMS. THEY CAME ROCKING THROUGH. FOR SOME OF US, IT DIDN’T EVEN RAIN LAST NIGHT, BUT IT WAS JUST WARM AND HUMID. AND IT WAS ALL THAT THAT WAS FUELING WHAT HAPPENED IN NORTH ALABAMA AND OVER EAST ALABAMA. SO JORDAN, GET RIGHT TO IT. WHERE WHERE DO WE STAND WITH THESE SURVEYS AT THE MOMENT? WELL, WE’LL START WITH ATHENS. THAT WAS THE FIRST ONE OF THE FIRST SURVEYS ISSUED OUT. AND IF WE ZOOM IN AND GET A CLOSER LOOK, WE CAN SEE THAT THE ATHENS TORNADO WAS ONLY ON THE GROUND FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES FROM 6:11 P.M. TO 6:13 P.M. HOWEVER, WHEN ABOUT THREE MILES LONG, THE MAX WIND SPEEDS WITH THIS POTENTIAL TORNADO. THIS CONFIRMED TORNADO WAS 105MPH, AND THEY RATED AN EF ONE. THIS WAS MAINLY SOUTH OF DOWNTOWN ATHENS, SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 72, BUT IT RAN PARALLEL TO HIGHWAY 72, HEADED TOWARDS HIGHWAY 31 BEFORE LIFTING BACK UP INTO THE ATMOSPHERE NOT TOO FAR FROM ATHENS. THERE IS ANOTHER CONFIRMED TORNADO. THIS IS CONSIDERED THE MADISON TORNADO BECAUSE IT LIFTED IN MADISON AND DID SOME DAMAGE IN MADISON TOO, BUT PEAK WIND SPEEDS WITH THIS WAS 125MPH. IT WAS RATED EF2. THIS ONE WAS ON THE GROUND FOR OVER 20 MINUTES FROM 6:09 P.M. TO 6:35 P.M., AND IT TRACKED MUCH LONGER TO 13 MILES, AND THIS WAS ALSO JUST SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 72, AND RAN PARALLEL TO 72 AS WELL. THIS IS THE LATEST ONE. THIS IS THE KILLINGSWORTH COVE TORNADO, RANKED F2. THIS IS EAST OF HUNTSVILLE, WITH WIND SPEEDS PEAKING AT 135MPH. WE HAVE THE BULLOCH TORNADO. THIS WAS FURTHER SOUTH SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 110 EF ONE 105MPH, AND THEN THE CLEBURNE COUNTY TORNADO. THIS IS PRELIMINARY INFORMATION, BUT AS OF NOW, WE DO KNOW IT’S RATED AN EF ONE, AND THAT WE SAW PEAK WIND SPEEDS OF 95MPH. JASON. AND THERE’S A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE JORDYN THAT THAT CLEBURNE COUNTY TORNADO WAS EITHER PART OF A LONGER TRACK OR THE SAME STORM THAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE ACROSS CALHOUN COUNTY. AND WE’LL BE WORKING TO GET THAT
