I was a helicopter instructor pilot there in 1980, CH-47's.
God help those people. I used to live there when I was a very young kid.
Flat Iron (Medivacs out of Rucker) heading for Enterprise.
thanks, me too! waiting for the first pictures to come in on local coverage!
really...that's what he went there for...Chinooks....
How long before the global warming nuts blame global warming for all this!!!
No doubt. Of course. We bought a house specifically with a basement interior room. Of course, on days like this, if it is a very strong tornado, no where is safe.
The most impacting image of Oak Grove was seeing a front porch with no home attached to it, and the remains no where in sight.
Cairns AAF reported a tornado. No damage reports . . yet.
My dad was a helicopter instructor there in the mid 70's on those TH-55's and Cobras. BigBird. The Silver Eagles used to practice there as well.
Hwy 27 North in Enterprise is blocked.
local reports Ft Rucker helicopters headed to Enterprise High...at this time no fatalities reported
I instructed there from 1973-1976 in Hueys, got a -47 transition, went to Korea then back to Rucker and instructed in CH-47's and OH-58's from 1978 till 1982 when I went to Germany.

Shep saying reports of kids trapped in HS. But, he is "confident that all that is taken care of".....I have to find someone else to listen to. He's insufferable.
LOL I can't stand Shemp, so am watching local coverage..the drama queen of Fox lost me during Katrina
The TH-55. That's what I learned to fly in 65/66. We were at Wolters then.
Would you believe I saw a civilian version overhed last week? The Mattel Messerschmidt.
Hey del!
I feel like I am sitting in the eye of a hurricane rights now. Storms all over Alabama except the central part of the state.
Starting to get video on MSNBC. May be from earlier?
Heck, Benning could be next.
Not looking good in Enterprise.
