Several tornadic supercells fired today in west-central AL, and produced at least 2 confirmed tornadoes and up to baseball size hail just west of Birmingham.  The radar image below from around 5 pm CDT shows the AL supercells at peak intensity. 

Dayna Timmer shot the following incredible pictures from the blizzard in West Lafayette, IN, where up to 2 feet of snow fell as of this evening.  A blizzard warning was still in effect with 40 mph wind gusts and drifts of 6-10 feet high!




Also, a fatal tornado occurred late last night near New Orleans, LA, killing 1 person and injuring several others.  A FEMA trailer was one of the structures severely damaged.  We'll keep you updated on the damage survey from this tornado, which will be the second tornado surveyed using the new Enhanced Fujita Scale.  Shown below are the SPC storm reports from very early Tuesday morning.
