This warning comes after Huntsville experienced a tornado storm earlier in the day. The NWS had said that people can expect ‘Golf-ball-sized hail (1.75 inches) is expected with the incoming storm’.
Earlier in the day, severe storms tore through parts of the U.S. again Wednesday, spawning damaging tornadoes, producing massive hail, and killing two people in Tennessee and one person in North Carolina.
A storm that rumbled across northeastern Tennessee brought high winds that knocked down powerlines and trees. Claiborne County Sheriff Bob Brooks said a 22-year-old man was in a car struck by one of the trees.
