One of my pledge sisters and her family - 2 girls, 2 years old and 9 months old - just had to escape from their house by canoe.
Their house is pretty much a total loss.

They are and they're scary as shite. I grew up in town where sinkholes opened up on the highway every few years and pretty much everywhere else. We were sinkhole central (even the old church had one open up - yes it was kinda funny in context 
) but knowing how easy they can open and swallow you up is utterly terrifying. I feel bad for the folks in Pensacola.

It's been constantly raining here all day.

The Mayflower/Vilonia tornado was officially rated an "high end EF4." Was on the ground for 41.3 miles.

Poor Lincoln is under threat again tonight as well. They lost 2 lives and a school to the one last night.
I was right in it Monday night. Live in Hazel Green, AL and we left our house when the first tornado went through Athens. We went to a cousin's house who has a reinforced room in his basement. Where does he live? Flintville, TN. Have several family members that live there, including my mother. All are safe, but the woods behind my mother's house are gone. She lost her barn and had roof damage. Cousin lost his barn. My sister had these huge trees around her house and somehow they all fell around it.

Youtube video of Lincoln Co. tornado damage
At 3:47 you can see my mother's house on the right and where her barn used to be. That's her strawberry patch in the center of the screen and my great-grandfather's old house across the road.

After perusing this thread today, it looks like there are a few more weather nerd type posters over here than the original OT. The last few days have been pretty wild but will most likely be remembered for the crazy heavy rainfall event that occurred across the Gulf Coast. Some of the pictures are just insane and reports of flooding that has surpassed storm surge records is just hard to mentally grasp.
Luckily the ever persistent monster -EPO has resurfaced and that should result in unseasonably cool and calm weather for most of the country. It looks like we will get into next week without any widespread severe weather, which is odd for the end of April / early May.
The -EPO will relax as part of a pattern change and that will allow for a western trough to establish setting the stage for a return to more traditional spring like weather.
At this time, a large scale outbreak doesn't appear to be a concern but this will probably get hyped by a lot of people. The long range doesn't look to improve for a while and this will be the only show in town for a lot of bored chasers. However, last nights D8 super ensemble does pop one interesting day for those of you that enjoy analogs

Pensacola received 24 inches of rain in 26 hours. That's unreal. For comparison.. Los Angeles hasn't had that much rainfall in the last two yrs combined.

Damn. Praying still. I'm volunteering Saturday to help move debris in Lincoln. Did the same in 2011 in Harvest. Best feeling in the world to help people that lost everything and strangers are there to help.

To put that in perspective many 'rainy' states only get just over 50 inches per year.

Glad to see you drop by. Always with great insight in the OT weather threads.
I'm all for embracing this unseasonably cool weather and no severe weather. Summer will be here soon enough...As your charts are showing. Summer is coming.

So when did Mississippi and Alabama become the epicenter for tornadic activity. I live in Oklahoma City and I saw something on the news this morning that the top 7 cities for tornados were in these 2 states. Oklahoma City was like 7th and Wichita 9th or 10th. I don't remember that much tornadic activity up until the Tuscaloosa tornado 3 years ago. Was I just not paying attention?

Basically yes you weren't paying attention. The two tornado allies have similar factors but the southern states are closer to the wealth of gulf moisture.
