Crissycriss,

Some quotes from James Spann:

"There is a risk of severe weather and tornadoes for ALL 67 Alabama counties. Doesn’t make any sense to ask about specific counties, towns, or neighborhoods with a widespread threat like this.
All modes of severe weather will be possible. Initially, with discrete cells that form this afternoon and tonight, the storms could produce large hail, damaging wind, and tornadoes. Then, late tonight as the activity rolls over into a long squall line, the main threat shifts to damaging straight line winds.
Severe weather could break out over West Alabama as early as 3:00 this afternoon. The main 12 hour window for severe weather remains 3:00 p.m. today to 3:00 a.m. tomorrow, but the core of the threat will come from about 6:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. As usual, the severe weather begins over the western counties, and works eastward during the night.
I believe the greatest risk of long lived, strong/violent tornadoes is west of I-65, and south of I-20/59, where the best combination of shear and instability will be in place. Some of the places in this zone include Livingston, Eutaw, Demopolis, Centreville, Selma, Greensboro, Thomasville, Camden, Butler, Monroeville, and Mobile. But, please understand tornadoes are possible anywhere in Alabama; this is just where I believe you will find the best chance of a long track, violent tornado.

So… enjoy Christmas with your family this morning. But, by mid-afternoon, be sure you are near a place where you can get severe weather watches and warnings as they are issued. I will be at ABC 33/40 with Charles Daniel, and we will have a crew in the field for live streams today, including Brian Peters and John Brown. We have a full staff coming in today at ABC 33/40, and I am thankful for the sacrifices they have made, being away from their family, to support our weather team on this special day."

Hi Alabama,

Been reading about the weather and want to say I hope everyone is surviving. Even still I'd rather be with you folks than here. It's freezing cold.

Take care, my heart and prayers are with you,

Rancher

Rancher, thanks. I am glad to say we had no damage to the house, no animals hurt, no trees down, but our tent-type structure did get damaged.
Now it will be 26 tonight.

Crissycriss, you're welcome.

Glad to hear you had minimal damage Stumpy.

We had very little too. A tarp got ripped off of the coop and one of the bird's 8X8 shade shelters ended up about 50 yards from it's original spot. Must have sailed right over the 6' fencing since that was still up. So, tomorrow, I'll be returning the tarp (had for <1 wk), and digging some holes to bury 1/2 the legs of the shade shelter. I'm gonna have to wake the hubby up early to help me carry the shelter back.

We did have a good amount of snow flurries today. Its the first time I've seen snow in about 15 years so I was very excited. Had a tiny bit that accumulated on my truck and a few other spots.
