Almost 5 months ago from today,Alabama got hit with a really bad storm "Aprils Fury" there was over 80 deaths & 27 tornadoes just in alabama,the storm went on into Georgia & etc.. more deaths happened through the other states & all together there was over 136 deaths.The storm never slowed down from Mississippi it became a deffinate tornado at the State line of Alabama & destroyed Tuscaloosa & left a path from T-Town until it finally died out in the North-Eastern states somewhere,the path of destruction it left was 1-2 miles wide in places.It was Heart Breaking,Shocking,Devestating,& everyone was speechless & shocked,Alabama has always been a safe place to live and now when we have a chance of rain everyone is terrified...including myself.Recently my parents & I drove to Tuscaloosa...My Dad & Aunts are from there & grew up there,My dad kept getting "turned around" he wasn't lost at all...there was nothing he recognised because everything is gone the house he grew up in was gone,signs,stores,the land marks he remembered,weren't there & he didn't know where he was at first.It's been a looooong 5 months of recovery but T'town IS up & the people are functioning by helping each other & being there for each other.Everyones lives have been destroyed by a massive storm but on the surface it didn't destroy the people!
On the bright side Alabama won the first Ball Game of the season! ROLL TIDE! Obviously the Bama team didn't let the 4/27/11 storms bring them down.
I think Alabama has had all of the severe Weather it can handle for 1 year,& this post isn't just for Tuscaloosa it's for the whole state! My Grandparents live in Birmingham & when it had turned for them I started to panic...How was I going to get there to them?? Thank God it missed them by 3 miles.I hope the survivors can get back to their lives soon & for the lost loved ones,I hope they rest in peace. :)
Lets keep our fingers crossed through Hurricane season & keep Re-Building & Getting Stronger through the mess of (Aprils Fury)! SWEET HOME ALABAMA!!!! ;)
