The wider storm

A broken line of showers and strong to severe thunderstorms (a few exhibiting embedded supercell structures) pushed east into northwestern Alabama during the early evening hours. This line became more organized and stronger as it pushed quickly east as it approached the I-65 corridor producing more widespread 50 to 70 mph wind gusts. The winds resulted in trees and power lines being knocked down at numerous locations and several thousand without power.

Began near Union Hill (34.9800, -87.2000).
