      The weather has been sketchy this November and December. The temperatures this past weekend were hovering around the 70's most of the weekend.

      It IS late, but you can't rule anything out down south... or even up north. I live in N. IL, and we had a tornado in Nov. 2011 and one before that in January 2008 (rated an EF-3 even)

    I don't live far from Birmingham. There's no tornado. Local meteorologists have consistently reported that it's just storms caused by the cold front moving into the area while temperatures remain relatively warm. Again, there is no tornado. The damage in Northern Birmingham was minor and caused by wind from this storm, not a tornado.
