Very well written story about judt one of the tornadoes that struck Alabama and the Southeast on April 27th.

It is a very compelling article about real human emotions in very traumatic conditions.

I’ve been through floods, hurricanes, and blizzards, but tornadoes are the one force of nature that really scare me.

I have many friends in Huntsville who reported that their town and the surrounding areas were very hard hit. Unfortunately, all of the media coverage was focused on Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. This was a real disaster across much of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.

This all happened starting 60 miles East. That day we had 6 tornado warnings during the day. I was listening to the Q-107 radio station in Florence giving details of the tornado’s path. I pray no one has to go through this but know it will happen again.

“Lindon Miller said his grandson and his grandson’s wife ran to his sturdy brick home for shelter, only to be swept far into the fields of Franklin County.”

I wonder if this is the guy our relatives talked about they knew, said he told his daughter to go to a more sturdier structure than her house. So she went there, and her house is standing and the structure gone, her and the baby both killed.

Of course, you know, this is a product of “global change climate warming.”

But seriously, let the good Lord watch over these people in their time of need and receive all the assistance they can.
