Checked the radar..Knoxville is looking at some purple bands...looks like No. Ala is gonna be hit, too, already has hit Florence,
will hit Decatur and Huntsville.
Down here in SW Ala. it will miss us, or so it looks for now.
We have had tornadoes this early around here, but not usual.
'Course, what is usual is changing rapidly.

Thanks for the heads up...glad I checked in, I was watching a movie, not the weather.
