There will be widespread power outages across Central Alabama from this large derecho that is occurring.
We went on emergency power here at our weather office in Trussville when the power failed for about a minute…but now we are back on commercial power.
Tornado warnings continue for Cullman County.

Widespread high winds will occur along and ahead of the line through Etowah, Calhoun, Clay, Randolph, Cleburne and Cherokee COunties.
