Severe Season: As Always, Videos Show Us Brutality Of Recent Storms

In an attic in Cullman, Alabama this week. All those spots of light
you see are holes punched through the roof by hailstones at
least the size of baseballs a few days ago.  
Earlier this week, severe weather hit parts of the Southeast, spewing damaging tornadoes and giant hail, especially in Alabama and Georgia.

We're just entering severe weather season, so we'll have plenty more outbreaks like this, especially as we head into April and May.

In fact, scattered severe storms, some possibly with giant hail and tornadoes seem like a fairly good bet in parts of the South Sunday through Wednesday.

The other day, I put up a couple of videos of this week's bad southern weather this past week, a

The videos are coming up next:

I mentioned in the last post a car dealership that suffered at least $4 million in damage when hail up to the size of softballs ravaged the area.

Here is surveillance video of the giant hail dinging all the cars and busting out the windows in the vehicles. I would have hated to be outdoors in that!



Next, we go to Russelville, Alabama, where a tornado definitely caused some damage. In the video, the people are in a car, approaching a rain-wrapped tornado.

Some tornadoes are encased in an area of downpours, so you don't really see a distinctive funnel. These rain-wrapped tornadoes are dangerous, because a lot of people see it and think it's just a nasty zone of downpours and wind. What they don't realize is that within all that is a dangerous tornado.

As you can see in the video, when the people in the car get close, they can see the tornado as it begins to peel off roofs and shred signs right in front of them. They understandably whip the car into reverse.
