Here is an amazing video compiled by NOAA
http://www.nnvl.noaa.gov/imageoftheday.php
It includes Monday nights storms, up until last nights.
I'm also finding lots of good aerial photos on the web. I'll try to locate on Google Earth for before and after. In the mean time, here is a Weather Channel video showing before and after http://www.weather.com/outlook/videos/before-and-after-photos-in-tuscaloosa-20468?from=video_email
The latest information, is that the tornado was so powerful it was shooting out other tornadoes spinning sideways! The huge tornado may have carved a path from downtown Tuscaloosa to downtown Birmingham, about 60 miles apart! The tornado appears to have been mile wide and may have been on the ground for more than two hours!
These huge tornadoes are spinning so fast that some of that spin is shed, spawning sidekicks. The sideways funnel clouds are fleeting, lasting maybe 20 seconds before dissolving, as the video shows.
This video is buzzing, but worth it to watch until the end. It WILL give you chills! Truly frightening!
