Hate to say this, but we probably do have a fairly strong tornado headed toward Birmingham right now. You know somebody down that way, call them and WAKE THEM UP.
This is the live stream I would recommend.
Oak Grove is in the most immediate path of this tornado as I write this at 3:28. If we get really lucky, this thing will be just a rotation in the air. If it's on the ground (and it may be - it was back in Tuscaloosa County, pretty sure), it could be a fairly nasty one. Take full tornado precautions. In fact, if you can get to a basement or other underground storm shelter ahead of this storm, that would not be a bad idea.
