Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Parts of Lawrence County Until 12pm

The National Weather Service in Huntsville, Alabama, has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for central Lawrence County in northwestern Alabama, which will remain in effect until noon CDT. At 11:23 AM CDT, radar indicated a severe thunderstorm located 9 miles west of Moulton, moving east at 15 mph. The primary hazards associated with this storm include 60 mph wind gusts and quarter-size hail. These conditions are expected to cause hail damage to vehicles and potential wind damage to roofs, siding, and trees.

Residents in the affected areas, including Moulton, Mt Hope, Chalybeate Springs, Wren, Landersville, and western Bankhead National Forest, should take immediate precautions. For your protection, it is advisable to move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a building to stay safe from the storm’s impact. The severe thunderstorm is producing large hail, damaging winds, and continuous cloud-to-ground lightning, making it crucial to seek shelter indoors right away.

Lightning poses a significant danger, as it is one of nature’s leading killers. Remember, if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning. Stay indoors and avoid using electronic appliances until the storm passes. Taking these precautions can help ensure your safety during the severe weather conditions.
