Tornado 8-10 miles North

Huntsville had another tornado pass along Oakwood Ave. on to 5 Points. These areas are about 8-10 miles North of us. I'd picked up a Starbucks in that area at ~4:30 PM ... the Tornado came through an hour later. So far, no reports beyond damage, power outages, and some injuries.

ps. No square dancing tonight as I'd have to pass close to the path ... they don't need any additional traffic right now.

 

We've gotten more detailed reports but the approximate path was:

34 43' 59.05" N 86 35' 06.45" W - Times Building downtown lost a skylight picked up from roof and dropped on sidewalk
34 44' 18.81" N 86 34' 36.22" W - Star Market
34 45' 56.81" N 86 32' 42.27" W - Chapman Mountain
​

Some injuries but no deaths. Power is out for ~10,000 people and there are reports of the smell of gas. Weather has cleared and temperatures are moderate, ~63F, no wind and dry.

It happens.
