Over a Third of Alabama Under Tornado Watch
Living and working in what is said to be "tornado alley," being under tornado watch isn't much of a surprise. However, over a third of the state is under watch right now.
It might be best for us to limit insignificant travel today as much of the state is under the same alert. According to the National Weather Service, the following Alabama Counties are under tornado watch until 8:00pm:
BIBB
BLOUNT
CHILTON
COLBERT
CULLMAN
DALLAS
FAYETTE
FRANKLIN
GREENE
HALE
JEFFERSON
LAMAR
LAUDERDALE
LAWRENCE
LIMESTONE
MARENGO
MARION
MORGAN
PERRY
PICKENS
SHELBY
SUMTER
TUSCALOOSA
WALKER
WINSTON
Have safety kits and plans in place. Even if a tornado doesn't develop, it's always best to be safe rather than sorry.
