Reports are that this was an F5 tornado. The strongest tornado on the tornado scale.

I can still picture Obama picking up a oil turd on the beach in Florida....for the camera.

President Trump is truly bothered by events. He is a people person.

Local news covered every minute of his visit-(WSFA) in Montgomery. I wish y’all could have seen it. Very touching. Trump was visibly moved as he stood for a moment in front of each of the 23 crosses that were set up as a memorial. Some pics on their twitter account.
