The most famous tornado of the outbreak occured in the city of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It began as a strong multi vortex growing wedge tornado near Greene County, causing EF2 damage to homes. It then quickly tracked towards Tuscaloosa, and was caught on camera by a storm chaser who was chaisng multiple tornadoes, and his live footage was soon broadcasted to local news stations. Just as it began, it was already reaching Tuscaloosa city banks, and was already being filmed on many different cameras. Once it crossed into the city of Tuscaloosa, it already had caused Low-End EF4 damage to homes in outer Tuscaloosa. Once it was in the city, it began completely destroying buildings big and small. Evacuations were already being issued when the Tornado was crossing through the villages of Rosedale and Forest Lake, and it now was causing EF4 damage to larger industrial buildings, like the University Mall and the University of Tuscaloosa. Then, it completely destroyed multiple Apartment complexes, and was now being tracked by every storm camera in the city. Just as it began, the tornado was now in the smack middle of Tuscaloosa, and was a photogenic monster. By now, the tornado grew from 0.5 miles to a full mile, surpassing other EF4 tornadoes already, only minutes into its lifespan and miles into its path. This was when the tornado quickly grew from a photogenic low precipitation tornado, too a large rain wrapped, wedge and was now being covered by Birmingham news stations as it tracked through Birmingham Suburbs, and was up to 1.5 miles wide, and almost filled the whole Birmingham skyline, but just as it was at its max width, it lowered quickly and just like that it had dissipated east of Birmingham, Alabama. In the end, it killed 64 and in injured over 1.5k people on its 85 mile long path.
