Short version: I'm okay. Cullman and Tuscaloosa are not. If you are in Huntsville or elsewhere in northern Alabama, get safe now.

@cnnbrk: Emergency officials believe a #tornado struck a hospital in Cullman, #Alabama. http://on.cnn.com/dOF0yK

RT @myfoxal: Craziest photo we have so far of the tornado in Cullman as it roars near a Jack's

Looks like the main transmission line from Browns Ferry has been cut; 300k people have no power in northern AL.

I've got relatives (and my late grandma's house) down in southern Alabama, so it looks like they're all safe. But you stay safe, too.
