    Tornado at work!!!

    Was sitting in my office at Thomas hospital earlier this morning when I hear "Code Purple!!! Code Purple!!!" paged over head...I look at my Hazcom card to see what that is and I see "Tornado/violent weather". Yikes ???

    The view from the 4th floor was slightly impressive

    It was actually a water spout that came ashore and held together for a short while before dissipating. Still pretty wicked though!

    Re: Tornado at work!!!



    I was @ Ft Morgan this am and we saw a huge WS near the SI LightHouse about an hour earlier than the Fairhope one.
    It seemed to have come from the same TS cell as it built NEward.
