ABC 33/40 Skywatcher Mike Wilhelm maintains a fantastic blog at bamawx.com.

He penned a great story yesterday on the Anniversary of the February 16, 1995 tornado that struck Arab and Joppa in North Alabama. The event is largely credited with the re-establishment of a NWS office in Huntsville after the older one was closed in 1997

Here is a link to the story, which contains some great video clips as well.
