- ABC 33/40 live severe weather coverage January 11, 2020. James Spann and Taylor Sarallo in the studio; Brian Peters and many others in the field. Three were killed on this day in Pickens County.
When James comes out with suspenders and no coat, you know shit is about to hit the fan.
If the sleeves come up just run to your safe place. Don't think about it at all. Just get there.
Yesterday was a reminder that you should take any and every tornado warning seriously. Most don't expect much from a tornado from a squall line, but that Pickens Co. tornado looks like it caused EF3+ damage in its 5-10 mins. on the ground.
David Matheny I agree
High end ef2(which I find unlikely there was a frame house that was just rubble)
It amazes me how he knows EVERY CITY and EVERY COUNTY. He is a legend.
well I mean he’s lived in alabama and has been a weather man for many many years
He knows where every pig trail is too lol.
As serious and tragic as this event was, I lost it at 9:06. 😂
Watching James on TV is always a treat. He knows how to present the weather in a way that's fun and understandable, but he does not mince words when it's time to be serious.
I swear I literally just watched the stream of the tornado outbreak from April 2019 and James was trying to talk to brian as well joking about him ordering dominoes pizza 😂 never fails
I live no where near Alabama, but I love to stick these long severe weather coverage videos on a watch/listen to them. Just find it so interesting.
I live in Iowa and it's so interesting not only to see how different the weather is here versus there, but how differently meteorologists convey what's going on with the weather. James by far has always done an amazing job of conveying things in a way that's understandable and fun but also informative.
I watched all of this coverage yesterday, excellent job by James and the rest of the team!
RIP to the three in Pickens county :(
Two of the victims were an elderly couple that couldn't move to a place of safety in time. :(
@@TheJingles007 Man that sucks :(
ABC33/40 - the only station you actually believe when they call themselves the "Weather Authority" 😂
I love the fact that James and the severe weather team of ABC 33/40 take severe thunderstorm warnings as seriously as the tornado warnings, especially when they know the straight-line wind is going to be severe. Though events like this are rare in Michigan, where I am, there was a very similar type of squall line that went through here near the end of August in 2018.
The straight-line wind damage brought down large trees and there were power outages in multiple locations, but the most my local station did was go on the air for about 2-3 minutes to briefly mention that there was severe weather happening, but because there were no tornado warnings in our immediate area, they just went back to regular programming and that was the end of it, even though the map behind the meteorologist that was speaking had severe t-storm warnings all over the place.
It was very frustrating, because any of those bows in the line could have produced wind that was as strong as EF0 or EF1 tornadoes, but because the local forecasters around here prioritize tornado warnings, while just about ignoring everything else, it meant that some people probably assumed they were safe, which would have put them in danger if they didn't pay attention, until the 70+ mph wind affected them. It was really only because I watched James Spann's coverage of past severe weather events (thanks to me being a weather weenie) in Alabama, that I was more cautious about storms up here. I just had to do the work myself to figure out where the storms were at and whether I should go somewhere safe. Some other people might not have paid as much attention, which could have cost people their lives if a tree happened to fall in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Weather weenies unite. Same story by where I live (eastern PA)
Central Iowa weather weenie here. The weather is the same here, they just pick and choose which ones to cover over others and with the way the weather has been over the last few years, you can't drop your guard. July 19th, 2018 here in Central Iowa will always be a perfect example of that. James has always treated every severe weather event the same: it's a threat to life and property until it's confirmed no longer a threat.
Brian always rambles on about nothing it's adorable lol
@William W. Campbell-Shepherd IX Plenty of good folks! Dont lose faith. We hear mostly about the bad apples these days. Coverage of bad news is way more common now, that's all. They're all over social media, but there are tons of normal, good folks.
Great job team. They keep us all safe. And during a tough time Brian brought some good comic relief
I was waiting for this upload. Great job james and staff!
Great job James! this is explains much more detailed,with you there, showing us how it WILL be happening we are visual learners grate job team! y'all have got this weather 99.9% on point we are astonished, how y'all do it we cant explained but its accuracy is just mind @ blowing!
*great
We only have storms like this once a year or maybe every two years here in the Netherlands, but I wish we had our own James Spann when it happens.
I about lost it at 3:14:04 😂, give it a few seconds...
Absolutely hilarious😂 I'm not gonna spoil it lol
😂😂😂
I love james so much i love his little sayings lmao
2:26:50 lol
12:38 first time I have ever seen James Spann look legit angry
ABC 33/40 weather team is very good to watch because you need to know what happened tornado warning or severe thunderstorm warning coming to your area
I remember this day like it was yesterday probably because it happened right before COVID
nice to see they ditched the Ford logo overlayed on the broadcast for this one
although I know James or the other meteorologist dont have much say in something like that
Generally speaking yeah, they dont have much say in advertising on TV, however, I would assume that if it was absolutely necessary they could ask to have it removed for the broadcast.
When I first saw the thumbnail, I asked myself: “When did Abe Vigoda start forecasting the weather?”
55:55 to 56:15 the way the winds went from screaming into the circulation to almost calm is absolutely eerie.
James Spann and Gary England....my two favorite mets!
1:15:40 wow thats loud
Lol
My favorite part of this is when Taylor seemed a bit frustrated at the Live Coverage at 53:30 - I don't think she knew the mic was still hot.
This is the day i left work after hearing sirens in epes and went to forkland storm shelter and the storm followed me and went over shelter knocking power poles on top of cars and taking down several trees.
Great coverage
We need to take James spann to waffle house for how good of a job he does with 3340
I remember this storm we lost power until 2:00 pm Sunday
Great job!
Okyes
I could watch this for hours, hey a am LOL!!
The winda were crazu that day!
Brian man dropping the ball
