| Novermber 8, 1989 Alabama Storm Chase Part Two |
 |
This video runs from just after 6 p.m. to around 7
p.m. on Novermber 8, 1989. I was student at the
University of Alabama and decided to chase storms
just before sunset in West Alabama. I began in
Tuscaloosa and drove south to near the Havana
Junction and Moundville communities in Hale
County.
When I left Tuscaloosa we were about to be placed
under a tornado watch and by the time the storm
approached my location Greene County was placed
under a tornado warning and Hale county was placed
under a thunderstorm warning.
In this video you can listen to James Spann on
WBRC 6 and NOAA Weather Radio from Birmingham. You
will see lightning, intersting cloud formations,
small hail, and torrential rain. As an added bonus
you can hear the audio from a the television news,
sports, and commercials from that day.
Earlier that morning two tornadoes (F0 and F1)
touched down in Houston County. There was damage
in the north part of Dothan.
According to the NWS, the first tornado resulted
in: "One home had its awning blown off and part of
a church was damaged. Trees were uprooted." As for
the second Dothan tornado, "2 homes were destroyed
and 50 car windows were blown out. 2 businesses
received major damage and one had moderate damage.
One office complex sustained major damage.
Hundreds of trees were blown down."
Exactly one week later, one of the most deadly
Alabama tornadoes ever ravaged Huntsville.
