The National Weather Service issued multiple tornado watches across North Alabama Sunday afternoon.

A tornado watch was active for the following counties until 10 p.m. CDT: Colbert, Cullman, DeKalb, Franklin, Jackson, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Morgan, Madison & Marshall Counties.

Good Shepherd United Methodist Church in Madison opened their storm shelter for residents. Eye witnesses reported severe flooding on Old Railroad Bed Road from Highway 53 to Capshaw Road, stating the road looked like "a river."
