i just raced the storm from tuscaloosa to birmingham, and i won by about ten minutes.
probably not the most intelligent thing to do, but since the actual twista was headed the coker/samantha/fayette county route (why people continue to live here, i will never understand) i figured i was golden. it didn't actually start raining on me until i arrived at the publix in homewood.
always on the ball [cough], tidetext "alerted" me to the situation:
3:30 pm. james span (abc 33 weatherman extraordinaire) gives the all-clear for downtown tuscaloosa/ua campus area over the radio
4:02 pm. i receive the following text message: "ALERT: tornado warning until 4:00 pm. classes suspended. immediately go to the lowest level of the nearest building."
4:03 pm. i immediately receive another text message: "the tornado warning for the university of alabama has now expired. classes and activities will now resume as normal."
thanks guys.
i feel safe with you in charge.
