I really didn't like their radar at the time of this outbreak. I was comparing the tornado paths with the radar velocity. They have nicely updated it since.

That Reform tornado around the 42-43 minute mark followed a similar track to the Cordova EF4 on April 27th, 2011

First!!!!.!

People like to give the weatherman's job a bad wrap. I can tell you. It is so hard to perfectly predict the weather. James is one of the greats simply because of how good of a man he is and how much he cares for the community of Alabama. I know he felt bad for the gridlock that these people were suffering through.

3:01:10 At this moment, James Spann gives one of the best one-liners in the history of weather broadcasting. He's willing to take the heat from principals and teachers if their kids aren't at school. What I love about James Spann is that his one goal is to keep people safe. He did it the best he could on 4/27/2011, and I know he was deeply saddened about those who lost their lives that day. He is a true hero, and one of the greatest meteorologists of all time.

I was in the enhanced risk, and it's funny how it was on Halloween. Sounds like the typical weather for halloween.

Start at 26:45 At 3:40 p.m. CDT, the Reform/Fayette Tornado would touch down about 1 mile west of the center Reform, AL (technically in city limits). This long-tracked tornado would be on the ground for over 1 hour. Strongest damage was in NW part of Reform, AL, on 4th Avenue NW and also on 9th Avenue NW. Rating: EF2 Max Winds: 115 mph Width: 600 yards Total Miles: 31 miles (1 hour 6 minutes) Average Speed: 28 mph Counties: Pickens/Lamar/Fayette Counties Start: 0.8 mile West of Reform, AL. Just E of the 7th Avenue SW & 11th Avenue SW intersection or West of Elementary School. End: 6 miles E/SE of Bluff, AL, at 4:46 p.m. CDT. Just W/SW of U.S. Hwy 43 & Housh Chapel Road intersection.

Jason Simpson is VERY good. He is experienced and knowledgeable.

Is spann retired

This event underperformed on what was predicted for a HIGH Risk. There would be no more tornadoes in the viewing area after they went back to regular programing after the 8:35p.m. update. The highest rated Tornado in the viewing area was EF2 (Chilton, CO) Regarding overnight and next day...no tornadoes touched down in the viewing area. Most activity remained to the SE part of Alabama.

Jesus Christ Died for all yalls sins believe in him and you will be saved (not forcing my beliefs just sharing the love of God) 🙏❤️

2:06:46 I am just completely baffled look at the STI (Significant Tornado Index) 17.5

I like storms and somewhat severe thunderstorms but I really do hate Storms at night, it may be cool seeing the lightning but still scares me. couple days ago, we had a Tornado Warning that was 6 miles from my location, all we had was strong winds and loud thunder

I live in Nebraska and I was watching this on the weather channel omg just seeing the size of that tornado that hit the university of Alabama is still just chilling in 2024! I hope this weather men got awards for their coverage of this tornado outbreak!

I could hardly watch this; when she sang Amazing grace there at the end, I just broke down, crying like a baby. This special with James Spann? This right here? Touched my soul in ways that I will never know or comprehend even to this day.

This tornado was pushing 250mph winds easily, with damage like this

I am at the @1:46:51 timestamp and I can't tell - which of these storms produces the famous Hackleburg-Phil Campbell tornado? It seems like they had a half dozen cells pass by with at least 2 producing tornadoes West of Hamilton all around what I believe is $:30ish.

this was posted since i was born 😭

1:27:58 wow

I lived in Harvest AL at the time and had been through man tornado incidents in my almost 49 years. That being said this was the single most terrifying day of my life. James Spann and all the other meteorologist that stepped up that day became legends that day. Many more people would have died without their commitment

I love settling in to bed at night and watching James Spann's weather coverage. He's just so good at giving out as much good info as possible while taking care to not sensationalize everything. Those two often don't go hand-in-hand

King von died when this was uploaded

James Spann is a fucking legend!! Best in the business love watching him

A tornado ee-MUR-jen-see!

Mr Spann, you are a hero. There is nobody on this planet that could’ve done a better job than you. You saved countless lives that day. I tip my hat to you, from Massachusetts.

Omg im late and i still cannot with the conspiracy theorists smfh the man is dead how about showing respect and letting him rest in peace

Tsvuxw

I remember watching this live all the way from Australia back in 2011. I was so flabbergasted, emotional, but thankful that Mr Spann and his team were covering this event, trying to get the message out to the public of Alabama. To me, James reminds me of a father, or uncle who you admire and respect, and I’ve known my whole life (even though we are worlds apart both ethnically, and geographically). Thank you sir for your dedication in meteorology, and saving lives for the people of Alabama 🙏🏽

Wow ✨ This tornado hit less than 2 miles from my home. My son and I jumped into the bathtub and tightly held hands together while listening to these two meteorologist words by battery operated radio. When it was all over the next day, we watched this video coverage and we could actually see the visuals along with the audio reports we remembered them saying-- even though the danger was over, it was much more HORRIFIC. My family in California was watching this very report LIVE!! They cried tears worrying about us-- heralding James Spann and Jason Simpson. My sisters said that even in California, they have NEVER seen a more professional team of meteorologist! Especially while under that kind of stress and pressure. ✨❤️ AWESOME WEATHER MEN ❤✨

There will never ever be another person legend like James he’s a true hero ❤

The guts and resolve to reflect on that stage even 10 years on just like, fucks me up. Absolute legend and I hope he does or will know that. It's not easy to be legendary for the right reasons.

Am I the only one that’s super interested and intrigued by these older reports from the 2011 Super Outbreak? James Spann and company are just exceptional at their job.

James Spann saw more action that day than a hooker in Vegas during a business convention

They all did fantastic that day. They did what they could and helped many. Jason Simpson and James Spann conveyed very well on TV that day what was happening. The fact that they're trying to learn how to do even better is amazing. I've seen so many James Spann interviews where he talks about the psychology behind this and how they can use that to better warn, as well as the other issues like with false flag tornado warnings, and tornado siren mentality. I hope they don't beat themselves up over this. They're good people doing their best to help others.

It was my 10th birthday on this video.

1:33:11 wasn't expecting to be reminded of Full Metal Jacket in this video

James is the best meteroligist ever. he keeps people safe and covers diffrent televison markets like its nothing.

Much well deserved props to James Spann but Jason is pretty darn solid too!

My birthday date is 28 April 2014

I won’t forget this ever I was a senior in high school and working and lived close to Birmingham at the time that was really sad my heart broke that night

Um the radar image now days is really very obvious you think compared to this image form 8 years ago f geo

Love God and put your trust in Him and repent and be baptized so greatful for your coverage on this horrific day great job you saved lives
