Whoa Whoa Wall Cloud
I captured this rotating wall cloud near Calera, AL on March 26, 2011. This is about 10 min worth of footage lapsed to around 1 minute. I was secretly begging for it to drop!

Alabama AND Tennessee Stormy Today
Both Alabama Mike and Tennessee Michael will be under the gun for big storms today. Most of the severe stuff should be south of TN-Michael near AL-Mike's area.
Several sites listed below to help you stay tuned in...
Nashville WX
Alabama WX
National Weather Map
...and of course, you can tune in to either of our Mike/Michael blogs and we'll have the appropriate links there.
Should anything break out in my area, I'll update as soon as I can....

Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, Alabama
This photo was taken last Tuesday evening in Orange Beach, Alabama. I was looking west from the back deck of the Perdido Beach Resort. We had some storms pass through the area earlier that evening. Dewdrop posted about those below.
On Wednesday night I took this photo near the public beach area in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Sunsets usually look best when there are scattered clouds about. This was a sunset that was gorgeous even without the clouds. The atmosphere was just as peaceful as the photo.

Follow up on "Odd Ball Event"
I posted here the other day about a weird experience I had seeing a wall cloud. There was no lightning, no watch, and no warning. Conditions were not classic for tornado formation by any means. Well guess what? The NWS Huntsville has confirmed that an F0 tornado occurred a few miles west of where I spotted what I now believe was a wall cloud. I probably dropped the ball by not reporting it but in my disbelief I decided to wait on it and it dissipated into the rest of the clouds. Check this out:
PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL 610 PM CDT TUE JUN 19 2007
..NWS CONDUCTS STORM SURVEY IN TRINITY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGISTS AND MORGAN COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CONDUCTED A STORM SURVEY FOR DAMAGE IN THE CITY OF TRINITY THIS AFTERNOON. THE DAMAGE OCCURRED WITH A LINE OF SHOWERS THAT MOVED THROUGH THE TRINITY AREA AT APPROXIMATELY 1100 AM CDT.
THE SURVEY FOUND EVIDENCE OF A TORNADO...RATED EF-0...WITH HIGHEST ESTIMATED WINDS OF 65 MPH. THE TORNADO WAS APPROXIMATELY 25 YARDS WIDE...WITH A PATH LENGTH OF ONE-QUARTER MILE. THE DAMAGE WAS CONFINED MOSTLY TO UPROOTED TREES AND SNAPPED LIMBS. ONE RESIDENCE SUSTAINED SOME DAMAGE...MAINLY TO SHEDS AND FENCING AT THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY.

Huntsville NWS Meteorologist Andy Kula, on talkweather.com, referred to this as "one of those odd ball event that warrants further study." It just goes to show that sometimes we get all hyped up for major outbreaks that do not happen and other times we miss all the action because things pop up unexpectedly. Expect the unexpected!
