I have many friends in Huntsville who reported that their town and the surrounding areas were very hard hit. Unfortunately, all of the media coverage was focused on Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. This was a real disaster across much of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.
This is a good long story about those other tornadoes—not the one/ones that hit Tuscaloosa or Birmingham.
One hit down by home in Elmore county, same day as these larger ones up North. The Elmore county one killed 6 people 5 miles due West from my house, but it was on a NW track. It died out over Lake Martin. They still are picking debris out of the lake. Boaters advisory out for debris.
My thoughts, too. The media is focused on the Tuscaloosa tornado and ignore the EF5 that killed record numbers in Northern AL.
My family is from Hackleburg and Marion County.....,.
Here is a good site to help people in Hackleburg....Hackleburg and Phil Campbell were both basically leveled by this EF5 tornado...
