Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	A cluster of supercell thunderstorms developed in western Tennessee during the afternoon hours, dropping southeast into northwestern and north central Alabama during the early to middle evening hours. These storms produced copious amounts of large hail, some of it over 3 inches in diameter in the Decatur area. Damaging winds of 65 to 95 mph were estimated, knocking down numerous large trees in the path of these storms. The strongest estimated winds up to 95 mph occurred in a 16 square mile area affecting portions of Eva, Center Dale, and Gum Pond. Flash flooding became a problem due to intense rainfall of 1 to 3 inches, particularly in Decatur and Hartselle in Morgan County. Nearly continuous lightning was reported with these storms. Observers noticed spectacular anvil crawler and cloud to ground lightning strikes. Numerous power outages were reported due to power lines being knocked down or due to lightning strikes.
