Alabama DUers - there's a tornado watch (Original Post)

OP

(135,425 posts)1. AGAIN? When will this end?
I think someone in AL needs to come up with a design for a tornado proof home.

We have a really bad storm coming through. The back yard is standing in water.
Long time no see.

(13,879 posts)4. I thought tornado season was
Spring and Fall, not January. Am I correct on that? Isn't this unusual for this time of year?

(39,961 posts)5. Not necessarily
At least the one for South Mississippi isn't really all that unusual. We have a massive thunderstorm blowing in ahead of a cold front. On the Gulf Coast, there is pretty much nothing unusual about thunderstorms coming in. It's unusual if you don't have them (like last summer when we didn't have rain for over a month).
