Tornado

This Wednesday marks five years since the destructive F4 tornado destroyed Tuscaloosa and several events are planned to commemorate the day our community was changed.

In February, an EF-2 tornado touched down in Pickens County and caused widespread damage to buildings and homes. Habitat for Humanity in Tuscaloosa wants to help the victims rebuild and is actively raising money to build two homes in the hardest hit area near Sapps Road in Pickens County...

The National Weather Service has conformed that an EF-2 tornado touched down in Pickens County yesterday, and the massive storm was captured on video.

Terri Brewer with WBRC issued a plea on Twitter urging followers to share the picture of a sweet puppy displaced from yesterday's tornado in Pickens County.

Last night, I watched the news in awe as the tornadoes crossed Mississippi and Alabama.  It was particularly striking for me because the area in Aliceville that was hit is the community where my family lives, close to where we lived when we first moved to Alabama.

More than four years after the devastating tornado hit Tuscaloosa and other areas around the state, a missing person from that storm has been located in Florida.

One thing we take very serious around here is the threat of tornadoes. Especially, when it is an elevated chance for activity. If you were here on April 27th, 2011, then you most certainly agree with these words. You will also share the feeling of unease with the multiple day threat a couple of weeks ago.
