WE APPRECIATE YOU. WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE AS WE MENTIONED, �������� 13. LISA CRANE IS JOINING US LIVE IN GARDENDALE. YOU CAN SEE SHE’S BY A STORM SHELTER RIGHT NOW. LISA, WHAT DO PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW IF THEY HAVE TO TAKE COVER A LITTLE BIT LATER? WELL, WITH WHAT WE EXPECT OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS, COMMUNITY STORM SHELTERS LIKE THIS ONE HERE IN GARDENDALE MAY VERY WELL BE THE SAFEST ALTERNATIVE FOR MANY FOLKS.

THERE IS AN AIR CONDITIONER IN CASE IT’S HOT TOMORROW. BUT YOU KNOW, THESE WARNINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN HEARING, THEY ARE SERIOUS AND IT’S SOMETHING YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO RIGHT NOW.

THE FIRST TIME I SAW ANYTHING LIKE THIS, I WAS A HIGH SCHOOL RED CROSS VOLUNTEER. IT WAS THE 1974 SUPER OUTBREAK, AND THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW COMPARISONS. THE METEOROLOGISTS DON’T REALLY LIKE TO COMPARE STORM TO STORM BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL DIFFERENT, BUT SOME OF THE PARAMETERS AS FAR AS INTENSITY AND SO ON LOOK SIMILAR TO THAT AND SOME OF THE OTHER DEVASTATING TORNADOES THAT WE’VE HAD SINCE. THAT IS NOT SOMETHING ANYONE WANTS TO HEAR RIGHT NOW. NOW YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME TO PLAN WHAT YOU WILL DO IN THE EVENT OF THAT SEVERE WEATHER. TOMORROW AND TONIGHT, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING AND HOW TO GET THERE. IF Y
