I have a sick feeling in my stomach. Dr. Greg Forbes says debris ball is 1/4 to 3/4 mile wide IN Bessemer.

Hospital in Bessemmer apparently took a direct hit.
EDIT: Power knocked out, tornado may have passed by very close, but hospital in Bessemer reportedly DID NOT take a direct hit.

That is possible? I know on May 1-2, 2010, it slowed what looked to be a major outbreak down, but left catastrophic flooding in Nashville and area...

Remember March 2, 2012? It was the same thing but this event had far more TDS sigs then any other event. You posted a lot of tweets from that 2012 one with constant mention of debris balls I think.
6 TOR warnings at once, so we're still in outbreak mode overnight and the event started at 1:00 pm; just exhausting and extraordinary.
