North Alabama had a Tor Con index that was maxed out at an incredible 10 during the April 27th outbreak. 
Great point by Daigeaux about thinking the purple shaded area is the only danger zone. On April 27th an F4 struck just north of the Montgomery area in an area outside the main risk area

It's kind of sad knowing that someone is going to die today from a tornado.

Sometimes these kind of maps are deceiving. It's the same with hurricane path predictions. People tend to let their guard down when in reality, there is no way to predict where and how many tornadoes there will be, if any. Just because you may not be in the highest percentage area doesn't mean you're safe. Just as many, or more could develop in lower percentage areas. There is no way to predict these things...
This crap is serious and everyone in the southeast needs to be on alert no matter where you are...

I remember when I was like 5 years old, we came back through Louisiana on the way from the Grand Canyon. I ask my dad what was wrong with the cemeteries. Posted on 3/2/12 at 12:44 am to Elleshoe

when your house isn't built on stilts in the swamp, and the water table is several feet below the surface you have the option of building a Basement, which is a underground portion of your home.
I know you swamp folks can't comprehend this... just think of it as a gator hole with an air supply.

You cannot have a basement in Mississippi either. It would be full of water in less than 3 days.

disagree, depends on where in Mississippi

There are houses in New Orleans that the second floor is the living quarters and the actual first floor is the garage and, what we call, basement.
During the flood after Katrina, the water table was so high that caskets in cemeteries were popping out of the ground. Serious.

Agreed.
St Louis metro was well out of the 2% zone put up by NOAA last year then we had a EF4 roll through the northern metro leveling whole neighborhoods and hit the airport.

I have never seen a true basement in Texas. It's definitely impossible in Houston

That's pretty scary hearing some can not have basements. I grew up in Missouri and they were a way of life during the spring.
God speed all.
God speed all.

I didn't realize Houston was called the Bayou City until I was there for a month after Katrina. I guess I've been living under a rock.
