Deadly storm tears through Alabama

Residents walk around through the debris of their neighborhood after a possible tornado ripped through the Trussville, Ala. area in the early hours of Monday, Jan. 23, 2012. Jefferson County sheriff's spokesman Randy Christian said the storm produced a possible tornado that moved across northern Jefferson County around 3:30 a.m., causing damage in Oak Grove, Graysville, Fultondale, Center Point, Clay and Trussville

Theresa Read and Patsy Stanberry look at the storm shelter that Bobby and Jan Sims had in their yard that was part of the damage from a severe storm, in Oak Grove, Ala., Monday, Jan. 23, 2012.

Wow! So much destruction. I was fortunate to have my home virtually undamaged after these tornadoes but I can't help but feel bad for these people that lost their homes.

Your town was hit ??? Wow, I'm glad you are safe!

how close did it get to you, joker

Actually, as far as I know, our town was hardly touched by the tornadoes. We just got the thunderstorms and a tornado warning that only lasted for a few minutes. The entire town was virtually undamaged fortunately. But since it hit Alabama in very much the same way it did on April 27th of last year, it's safe to say it hit home pretty hard. I feel sorry for the victims of last year's tornadoes and the victims of the ones that happened just days ago. But whatever the case, I'm thankful for both me and my family to still be alive. The worst we got was a power outage that only lasted through the night.

thank god, tornadoes are scarier than hurricanes because they hit at a moments notice without any warning

Yeah, I hope this is the LAST one for a good long time
