Former WAAY 31 Chief Meteorologist Gary Dobbs had to stop his live report to take shelter when the April 27, 2011, tornadoes came to his neighborhood.
He survived with bruises and cracked ribs after being hit by debris as the EF5 tornado ripped apart his home.
In the 10 years since that day, the technology he used has advanced.
"You know, I had worked several severe weather events prior to that. And April 27th, it just felt different,” said Jessica Chace, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Huntsville.
