    this is the best coverage I have seen. I wish the coverage put here in Texas was like this…unless I'm not watching the right station where I am at.

    I can't believe that WIAT42 uploaded their coverage first. Also, WAR EAGLE!

    I doubt this will happen again. Not to say an april 27 won't happen, but to get a crazy strong line that knocks out power, then 9 hours later, long track tornadoes.

    I rather have a Earthquake than a dam Tornado or a Twister coming towards my direction omg this is absolutely scary .. I remember when I was a kid we was suppose to get a "Tornado" and I hid and slept in my closet my mom came in to tell me it had passed and there wasn't any destruction only a tree or two was unrooted I must've been 15 at the time it was scary by the way I live in Massachusetts so it's rare for us to have Tornadoes or Even Earthquakes but when it happens it's scary I feel bad for people who live in Midwest and South

    This was such a terrible day. Although I'll never forget the way our community (East Limestone) came together.

    I remember when this happened. I was scheduled to go to Disney world with my school band. We had a meeting asking parents if they wanted us to leave that day and there were actually people who wanted their kids to leave that day lol. But we left the day after and were there for a week and the day we came back, the power turned back on lol

    Remember watching this at my aunt's house in Childersburg. It seemed like we were heading to the storm bunker every 5 minutes. Don't remember much structural damage there, but the roads there got thrashed. So many downed trees and power lines. I was down there visiting from Nashviille. Stayed almost a week longer than I expected.

    Good Lord, that was awful. Was there anywhere in Alabama there wasn't a tornado? I would have been freaking out.

    I live near Huntsville, AL, and I was in the 6th grade at the time. I remember my only reason for not going to school that day was that my sister had gotten sick and had to go to the doctor. Now, I'm a freshman at the University of Alabama [yes, this guy is still on the news down here]. You know shit just got serious when James Spann's sleeves are rolled up like that.

    James Spann was a pro when he handled this situation.

    He was the man that was able to save so many lives. Had he not been the one covering the tornadoes, the fatality count would have been at least doubled what it was.
