Dennis Sherrod is streaming from a tornado warned storm near Moulton, AL. He is right under a rotating wall cloud.

I'm seriously scared for all the people under this PDS watch. I won't be surprised if a huge tornado comes out of these cells. I hope no one gets hurt!

Dennis is going to reposition south to make a play on the current Moulton, AL storm, which will put him in a better spot for the cell east of Haleyville, AL coming up behind it.

Warmsector has intercepted a Tornadic supercell which hit Auburn University sometime earlier. The cell is now moving towards the city of Columbus, and still shows apparent rotation on radar. The lightning is intense on this cell!

To update this, it also seems warmsector has gotten stuck at either a car accident or the site of a place hit a by a tornado. The storm is heading east pretty quickly away from him. However, a new cell is forming a hook to the north.

PDS!!!...Absolutely well called!...In fact, here in Mid-tenn, we had a large somewhat wedge shaped tornado in Murfreesboro, which unfortunately hit a highly populated area. I was actually able to watch it live from a traffic camera on the interstate, which was broadcast live on the news coverage. I did some chasing, but it was incredibly dangerous and everything warned for was rainwrapped, and impossible to accurately report. This was probably one of the most dangerous severe weather situations I have ever chased!

Ive been watching these storms all day on radar. Mainly cuz my dad is currently staying in Columbia, SC. There was a tornado warned cell heading in his direction. Looks like it died out alot in the last hour or so. But it looked pretty crazy earlier this afternoon/evening.

I live in Murfreesboro, but was not in town when the tornado struck. Ironically, a couple of my friends and I went to chase close to the TN/AL border. No sooner did we leave Murfreesboro did it become tornado warned. We kept heading south because it just didn't look that impressive at the time. The tornado killed 2 and injured at least 40. This has to be an easy EF3, and won't be surprised if it is rated an EF4.

Thats what it looks like...EF-3, or 4, I picked up a paper and saw the pics in it and studied them, as well as drove by some of the damage on the interstate. I really hope the best for everyone involved throughout the South!

One of my sisters goes to MTSU (Middle Tennessee State University, for those of you who don't know), and her boyfriend saw the tornado hit the interstate and the crate factory from his workplace at the YMCA.

I live here in Murfreesboro. It was a pretty wicked storm. Me and my G/F were driving in it. The sky deffinately had that erie green color to it. We ended up being about a mile to the east of where it hit, and never saw the tornado itself due to the heavy rains we got. Had some decent hail too.

After it hit, we managed to get to a damaged area and get some photos. Sadly, my g/f knew the mother and daughter that were killed in the tornado.

This is turning out to be a pretty serious season for thunderstorms.
