Tornado Damage in Alabama

I received a call on April 27th saying I needed to go to Alabama to help out. I drove all day and when I arrived in Jasper this is what I saw. Neighborhoods destroyed. People just standing dazed at what was gone and how their lives had changed.

The most common thread though, was how grateful they were to be alive, possessions could be replaced. As I watched families gather I realized this was different than when I was at other disasters, people here still had hope and a positive attitude.
