3 died just minutes ago in Ala.tornadoes. [View all]

Northern part of state.
F-4 to F-5 category.
The storms come in at right angles to state, so hit a lot of territory.

WHNT is reporting three simultaneous tornadoes currently traveling the same path.

My area is forecast to get some of those storms later tonight.
the wind chimes are going off pretty strongly outside.......
