Tornadoes, Damage, and Stuff

The first tornado from this outbreak that I know to have been caught on video (will check for more) happened earlier today in Adairsville, Georgia, north of Atlanta. The tornado caused nearly 100 cars to be overturned along I-75. Unfortunately, the tornado also claimed the life a man in a mobile home.

Back in Alabama, the Addison Airport in Winston county was almost completely destroyed by strong winds and a possible tornado earlier this morning. A slideshow of the damage pictures received by ABC 33/40 in Birmingham can be seen here. Significant damage has also been reported around Starkville, Mississippi from these storms.

Right now, Tornado Watch #21 is in effect for much of Georgia, and parts of the Carolinas and Alabama. The watch includes Dothan, AL, Columbus, GA, Greenville, SC, and Charlotte, NC. Severe Thunderstorm Watch #22 is in effect for parts of North Carolina and Virginia. This does not include Arlington, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Richmond, or the Raleigh areas. This does include Roanoke, VA, and Danville, NC.
