Eyewitness Video: Southeast Slashed by Tornadoes Again, Alabama & Georgia Hard Hit

This on-the-scene video from Georgia activist and author Gary Booker shows what a storm system carrying super cells looks like. Note especially the footage at approximately 1:22 and 1:23. Look closely at the tree line, in the center and to the right, and you will see flashes of "bottle green." When you see that color in a storm like this--it's a very dangerous situation.

Tornado Video: Roundup of Freak Winter Killer Storms

Sections of Alabama were the latest to fall victim to the eastward-moving tornadic storms. At least four people are reported dead in that state as search and rescue operations continue in Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennesee. The five-state death toll total has reached 52.




The long line of severe storms shown in the radar is known as "training". The miles of super storms, strengthened when they join up, roll over communities like rogue freight trains of destruction. The video of the Cleveland, Arkansas tornado is amazing.
