Tornados in Alabama

[KeptByTheWord]

I just saw this on Foxnews, and my heart is heavy for the people of this area who are in the path of this monster tornado and who went through so much last year with tornados... I am in prayer for them now...

DEVELOPING: A reported tornado touched down in Alabama on Friday, destroying homes between Athens and eastern Limestone County, emergency officials said.

There was no immediate word on any injuries, but the Huntsville-Madison County Emergency Management Office said ambulances are responding to neighborhoods near Huntsville.

Thousands of Alabama schoolchildren have been ordered to leave school early because of the threat of tornadoes and other severe weather across the northern half of the state.

More than 20 school systems said they are dismissing classes early Friday because of the possibility of severe storms. Otherwise, the bad weather could hit around the time schools normally dismiss for the day, based on predictions from the National Weather Service.

School systems dismissing students early include those in Jefferson County, Tuscaloosa and Walker County, which were all hard by deadly twisters last April.

Forecasters said severe storms are likely across north Alabama from Friday afternoon through Saturday morning. The weather service said there's a chance of long-track tornadoes, strong winds, flooding and large hail.

It's scary, this tornado season has been ridiculously active and it hasn't barely started.

Praying for all these people. The weather is just crazy it seems.

My niece had recently moved to a small town outside of Huntsville, Alabama. Last night, the guy she had moved with became physically abusive, so she left and drove 6 hours north and east to her aunt's house in Tennessee. This afternoon, the guy called her to let her know that a tornado had hit their town today. He said it destroyed the school and a bunch of buildings and that power is out all over.
