Many, many reports of trees down across Blount, Etowah, St. Clair, and Calhoun counties. The entirety of the Birmingham metro area is now under a severe thunderstorm warning. Nearly all of Lake Martin and surrounding areas also under a severe thunderstorm warning… pic.twitter.com/e6MPe2v0Yk

Rain and winds came whipping through Smiths Station, AL…
A tree was blown over and fell on top of a car sitting in the government center's parking lot. Nobody was inside the vehicle and crews were quick to chop the tree up and get it off the car. @WTVM @wtvmweather pic.twitter.com/cguC7mvT8S
