NOT being southern or supersticious , I find it very interesting that when you are in a horrible situation, you folks ALWAYS invoke your gods for help .. when you should be cursing them for doing this to you in the first place ! Very select belief system you have ... and of course your gods never actually help at all .. When a child is found alive under rubble unharmed , it's a miracle ... yet 15 people died close by . I am however very saddened for all the damage and loss of life you suffered

@RickyRescue00 Hi Ricky you could hear some of the Tornado sirens on the Brookwood, Vance side of Tuscaloosa, Tuscaloosa County... Unfortunatly, the way the tornado hit City of Tuscaloosa, it took out the Emergency sirens for most of downtown, that is why you hear so many Emergency vehicals scrambling to alert people to take cover, they had to go Old School that day with the ER system taking a direct hit.

Hi Mike: Have you looked at enhanced video that you shot? The amount of debris is unreal and it looks like you got footage of some of the victims too. So sad.

Thank you Mike for your humility. Through your humbleness to the Almighty, you saved a lot of souls that very day. Jesus showed his Glory through your prayers.

at 10:06 you can see my uncle hauling a coil, he was scared to death when he called us here in Arkansas.

Is that the vague tornado sirens in the background?

This is the most educational and horrifyingly interesting video of the Tuscaloosa supercell out there, in my opinion. Thanks so much, Mike for capturing the start to finish of this beast; and at the perfect angle, too. That jagged lightning strike at 25 seconds is INTENSE (not to mention ear-splitting to those caught under it too, I bet).

My only question is, what caused the bottom of the supercell to condense into those small but thick funnel-shaped edges before it fed into a wall cloud?
