Carbon Hill, AL Tornado Coverage - 11/10/2002

On 11/10/2002 an F3 tornado moved through Fayette, Walker, and Winston counties in Alabama killing 4 and injuring 10 along its 44.3 mile path. This was part of the Veterans Day tornado outbreak which spawned over 10 tornadoes in Alabama and numerous tornadoes in other states. This is a video of live coverage of that storm by Huntsville television stations. This storm, for the most part, was not in the Huntsville DMA but meteorologists were paying close attention to it as it approached the viewing area. Footage is from WHNT, WAFF, and WAAY. According to the NWS Birmingham, "The Carbon Hill Tornado was the first tornado of the evening. It began in Fayette County at 6:52 pm, about 5.6 miles north-northwest of the city of Fayette, and 2.8 miles west of US Highway 43. The tornado moved on a northeast track crossing US 43, State Route 129, and SR 13, and then moved into Walker County just southwest of Carbon Hill at 7:10 pm. It then crossed the western and northern sections of Carbon Hill, downing trees and power lines and damaging many residential structures. Carbon Hill Elementary School was also heavily damaged. The tornado continued northeast, crossing SR5, and exited the county at SR 195. The two deaths associated with this tornado occurred just south of SR 195. Entering Winston County at 7:31 pm, the tornado continued on a northeast path traveling across mostly sparsely populated areas of Bankhead National Forest and several fingers of Smith Lake. It crossed County Road 41 about 1.8 miles south of Arley and then crossed CR 12, finally lifting at 7:45 pm." http://www.srh.noaa.gov/bmx/?n=event_...
