Tornado Emergency has been issued.
For those not familiar, it's a tornado warning on steroids. It's enhanced wording used in a tornado warning text to indicate a large tornado is heading toward a population center

They said from the reports of people on the ground the damage looks consistent with an EF4 or 5

Tuscaloosa got their shit absolutely rocked.
They asked about U of Alabama on Weather Channel, and the mayor said he had heard of some damage but did not know for sure. They're saying mile wide tornado.

I believe the twitvid I posted has the stadium in the foreground. Not sure if it hit it or not.

WTF. RT @Andrew_Gribble: Per ABC 33/40 in Birmingham, a Milo's cup from Tuscaloosa landed in Oxford. Those cities are 120 miles apart.

I like how if you check the major news networks, none are talking about these deadly storms. Nice to be talking about the Royal fucking wedding when cities are being destroyed.
