Tornado - April 27, 2011

We were in the main path of the large tornado that come through Alabama. We were spared but the damage all around us is devastating. I am so grateful that everyone I know is safe and so sad for all those whose lives were affected

In the basement tub with helmets on. Kids thought it was great fun, mom was freaking out!!

For my out-of-state friends: The tornado that is getting the most national news coverage (the one that hit Tuscaloosa, Pleasant Grove, Pratt City, Forestdale, Fultondale) is the long pink line in the middle of the state. Trussville is located in the ONLY break in that line. It lifted off the ground as it passed over us and then dropped back down just north and continued on its path of destruction.
