Although these particular storms weren't tornadic, there was a tornado watch posted until 3AM CDT for most of Alabama because of it. Severe thunderstorm warnings were issued before and during the event in Mobile, AL. Had trouble seeing at times, even with new wiper blades and rain-x (neither could keep up well enough at one point). Almost thought that I was going to flood out my car a few times, due to flash flooding in places that I have never seen happen before.

58MPH wind gust at Mobile Regional Airport. Also saw 1" diameter hail (that's 2.5cm for you silly metric users, lol). Furthermore, Mobile had 4 inches of rain in one hour during the height of the event.

Will probably see a repeat of this during the afternoon and evening of 29APR.

ENJOY!!!

    Just when you really fall asleep, you wake up to a Amber alert.

    This Video shows even when the windscreen wipers are at full speed they cannot quite keep up with the intensity of the rain

    Oh boy. That was the same day as the Mississippi tornado that hit the university and was featured on the Weather Channel.

    I’m a certified skywarn storm spotter and storm chaser and if this was a tornado out break you could have been in trouble if anything did form you could not see it you were in the down draft area to see tornado you need to be southeast looking northwest into the updraft area my suggestion to you is to go atten a skywarn storm spotter class with the national weather service in your respected area since you love storms get trained im not here to tell you not to get out in storms because then I would be a hypocrite because every time a storm comes threw my area I’m out sending in reports to the nws I just don’t want anything to happen to you
