CALMING DOWN: A band of heavy rain showers moved across North/Central Alabama this morning, producing high winds in a few spots. Wind damage was reported at Hueytown, and also across Calhoun County from Alexandria to Jacksonville to Rabbittown. All of the damage in these areas was the result of strong straight line winds; there was no tornado involved.
The good news is that the severe weather threat has come to an end for all of Central Alabama, as the cold front responsible for all of the action this morning has now moved well into the southern portions of the area.
