some of you might have heard about the tornadoes throughout my beloved home state of alabama. the whole state was devastated, with multiple tornadoes hitting everywhere from birmingham and tuscaloosa to arab and east alabama. my hometown of cullman was demolished by at least 2 major tornadoes, one that directly hit downtown.
this is the church i grew up in. it's about 4 blocks from my house in the historic district. notice how all the stained glass windows are blown out.
the white building with the green awning on the far right is my parents' office. there was practically no damage, but the buildings across the street are just gone. image via CullmanSense.
more damage in downtown. image via CullmanSense.
the afternoon tornado in Cullman. supposedly at least a mile wide.
fortunately all my family and friends are accounted for, though many people had major damage or lost their houses entirely. please be thinking of everyone in the south, as the death toll has reached 247, with 162 of those people in Alabama alone.
