Tropical Watch… Brett Adair @ 10:59 pm

This evening we are watching the progression of Tropical Storm Edouard in the Gulf of Mexico as he gains strength and potentially poses a threat to the Texas/Louisiana area. Hurricane watches are now up from the NE TX coast into SW LA. The AlabamaWeather.org storm chasers (Brett Adair, Eric Parker, and Evan Hyde) are monitoring the situation and are preparing for deployment tomorrow afternoon as Edouard approaches hurricane status. Monitor for frequent updates as we prepare and monitor the storm and setup our LIVE streaming camera.

NEW Hurricane Tracking! Kenny Evans @ 10:30 am

Our friends over on StormPulse.com has provided us the power to use a new flash version hurricane tracking. This new interactive tracking map will provide the user to select what he or she wants to display along with full zoom and pan abilities. This mapping will center on all current tropical systems with the ability of being able to change storms should there be more than one active at a single time. Check out our front page for this new advanced hurrican tracking map!

Talladega County Damage: Mill Village Area Brett Adair @ 10:16 pm

Below are a few pictures of the storm damage that occurred this evening from a severe storm near the Mignon area of Sylacauga on Pell City Ave. and Twin Street.  A church sustained some damage with a visible hole in the roof and water leaking in due to a large tree falling.  Eric Parker and myself intercepted the northern end of this storm near Winterboro and measured near 45 mph winds along the outflow along with some small hail.  Click the images below for a larger view.  All of this was aired LIVE this afternoon on Alabamaweather.org
