More details about the April 27, 2011, ‘superstorm’ that produced the massive, mile and half wide, 300 mph winds, 200 mile path of destruction of the Tuscaloosa Tornado. Video from the National Weather Service (NOAA) of the April 26-April 28th satellite loop of the storms that pummeled Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Virginia and produced several F4 and F5 tornadoes including the massive Tuscaloosa twister.

Info from NOAA:
A major tornado outbreak of historic proportions impacted portions of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia on Wednesday. More than 150 reports of tornadoes were received on Wednesday, with the majority across northern Mississippi and Alabama. Widespread destruction, loss of life, and substantial injuries have been reported from numerous strong to violent long-lived tornadoes crossing areas from Jackson, Miss., to Birmingham, Ala. Tornadoes have produced severe damage in Tuscaloosa and other locations in Mississippi and Alabama..
This movie shows the rapid scan infrared imagery from the GOES-East weather satellite from April 26-28, 2011. During severe weather events, such as the past few days, NOAA places GOES into rapid scan mode, taking imagery every 5-15 minutes instead of every 30 minutes to provide forecasters the extra needed information that they need on rapidly evolving situations. An additional still image shows the storm system on April 27, 2011 at 2215z using GOES East visible imagery. The overshooting tops associated with severe storms and tornadoes can be seen over Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Virginia.
On April 27th we grabbed a weather satellite image of a tornado ‘ball’ broadcast during live news coverage in Alabama.

Info from video:
Tornado moving from west of Tuscaloosa, appearing to follow 15th St to the East, and then making its way towards what appeared to be the DCH and University Mall area.
Final video of 3. Filmed from 2209 9th Street on the 5th floor looking south.
I was next to a stairwell to take cover in if needed…fortunately, it stayed south of here. Prayers going out to those who were in its path.
