On April 27, 2011 71 Tornadoes Ripped Apart my Home State - Alabama
I know you may get tired of my tweeting over and over about something that may have no effect on you. But to the family, loved ones and friends of the 248 Alabamians that lost their lives on April 27, 2011; openly expressing our thoughts, feelings, etc. is part of the healing process.
SEVENTY-ONE tornadoes ripped apart my home state of Alabama on April 27, 2011. My town was hit with the first storms that came through about 6:40 a.m. Our town was then hit again by more tornadoes through out the remainder of the day. We are one of the fortunate ones, we only lost a vehicle, some shingles to our roof and a portion of our fencing around our back yard. Many lost way way more!
Below are some videos of the destruction that has been left to my beautiful home state of Alabama. Please if you are where you can make a donation to The Red Cross, The Salvation Army or one of the many charitable organizations that are working tirelessly to enable our state to get back on our feet. Many of our towns have years and years of rebuilding. One town lost 31 of the 32 buildings that made up the down town district. YES 31 of the 32 buildings!
At lunch today I saw a donation jar for a 10 year old little boy that is still in ICU with injuries he sustained during one of the tornadoes. The rest of his family died that day. This little boy does not yet know this.
There is one thing our state continues to need, and that is your PRAYERS! Thank you all to my Twitter friends for allowing me to express myself in our time of hurt and pain.
