Alabama Needs You

I know I haven't posted, but one blog on here and I am going to keep this short as I am still at a loss of words.

   So please bare with me as my head and thoughts are not all there..


    As most of you know Alabama was demolished on the 27th of April. I myself was out chasing these storms and saw first hand how destructive and deadly they were. Severe Storms were ongoing from the early morning hours across North Alabama but stayed clear across the South. Once the environment became favorable for development, cells just started firing across MS and AL and radar just showed supercell after supercell racing of to the Northeast.

    These storms rapidly developed and became severe and tornado warned and barreled down on Alabama by mid day. Myself along with Brett Adair and Eric Parker of The Alabama Storm Trackers caught three different tornadoes that day and were even caught in the initial circulation of one. Little did we know that the one we were just hit by was going to become the mile and a half wide-EF4/5 monster that would soon obliterate Tuscaloosa.

     That storm quickly headed off to the Northeast, which outran us due to our position. As we continued our pursuit eastward oh highway 82 to intercept this monster we came upon the path of destruction it left behind which was horrific! A sight, a smell, and a feeling that will stick with us forever!

   At that point our chase was over as lives were in danger. Now, I can not explain to you the magnitude of this horrific situation that put the three of us in shock as The town of TCL now lies in shambles! To see these people lost with not a clue of what to do or where to go was a gut wrenching site and a site we never want to see again! Regaurless of the way we felt, peoples lives were at stake and we quickly began search and rescue. Below are some pictures of what we had to dig through in search of survivors.

    Unfortunately, many lives were lost and the town of Tuscaloosa, as well as others, were leveled and they need our help!! I am starting this fundraiser to help the victims affected by this terrible disaster as they can not do it alone. They can use any help they can get and whatever funds received here will go towards canned goods, toiletries, etc..

               Thank You!!!
