Ashville,Al
I was in the shop yesterday when it came through and when I looked outside my 5x12 trailer was going across the yard. Decided to head home to check for damage at the house before dark and I was amazed at all of the damage. Ashville, Al looked like a tornado had just came through and when I got back to Clay I found that I couldn't get to my house. There was a line down blocking my street so I tried some back roads and had to assist people cutting trees off of the roads in several places just to get within walking distance. Walked up to the house and found a big limb had claimed the hood on my work van. Anybody else get any damage?
 
My brother had an $8000 sign damaged at his store in the Cullman area. We just got straight line winds and a bunch of small hail.
 
I got caught in a hail storm between Iuka and tishimingo miss in my dodge pulling about 20k lbs of bridge beams. Sitting here waiting for insurance adjuster to see whats gonna happen
 
No damage at my house but I had 3 calls yesterday about lightning. Two hotels were hit and took out the fire alarm and phones and a school lost fire alarm, intercom and a HVAC unit. I get to fix it all but the HVAC.
 
Went by the body shop earlier for an estimate. 1,200 for everything except the roof which isn't bad enough to fix.
 
Got a little breezy around my neck of the woods. Neither me or my parents place had any damage, but had a couple friends with pretty bad damage. First pic is prolly the worst. Near Cedar Bluff/Leesburg, AL. That's one bigass tree that completely destroyed their old plantation style house. They have about 5 trees on the property around the house and it only took one to fall and smash it completely. The rest of the pics are from a good friend's place in Fyffe, AL. Wind whipped hard enough to split the power pole where the guide wire was attached. Blustery day, nonetheless.

Had hail at my house it beat holes in my vinyl siding and gutters,ripped my screens all to pieces,and tore my truck up bodyshop give me a 5400 dollar estimate but still waiting on progressive of course they will probably say 1400
 
No damage at our house but a few miles down the road a fella had a tree center his ford pickup and hit his house. Between him and the few neighbors there was about 10-12 trees down, things blown around and towards silvercreek-rockmart georgia there was a tornado spotted but i dont know if it ever touched the ground.
We had some slight hail. No damage though thank god
