Alabama ‘supercell’ that produced tornado captured in satellite imagery

This week’s severe climate in the Center-South was visible from outer space.

Impressive footage from the GOES East satellite of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) captured Thursday’s “supercell” that produced a major tornado in Alabama near Brent and Centerville.

“In the 16-second time span, you can see the rays that accompanied the storm during March 25,” the agency wrote on Twitter on Friday in a message accompanying the 16-second clip.

Up to 10 tornadoes tore through Alabama and Georgia as of Thursday.

The storms that killed at least six people continued to pass through the region on Friday morning, bringing an EF-4 tornado to northwest Newnan, Georgia, which left the city looking like a “war zone”.

As the system moved east – with dangerous storms and floods in other states – a tornado also hit Vermont on Friday, injuring at least two people.

The South Fork River in North Carolina started flooding its banks at Cramerton earlier in the day, forcing authorities to close the nearby pier, according to a report.

Further up the east coast, Rochester, NY, residents were surprised to see what they thought was a huge tornado or water storm, but it turned out to be “scud” clouds – a low cloud formation that connects to the base of the main storm, but it doesn’t turn.

The strong winds that swept across the Empire State disrupted the energy of more than 2,000 people in western New York and dangerous conditions are expected to continue in the east and south over the weekend.

The National Weather Service (NWS) predicts the threat of an isolated tornado as far as New Jersey, although another potent storm system moves across the south and southeast this weekend, according to a report.

Severe storms will be possible in the lower Mississippi and Tennessee valleys and all hazards are possible, including more tornadoes, damaging gusts, hail and flash floods, NOAA said.
