My Town Is Gone
Just thought I'd make a quick post and let everyone know before I leave. I'm actually in a motel right now. A tornado moved through my state and it hit my town directly and literally flattened everything. My town is completely demolished. My house is one of the only buildings even still standing. Most terrifying damn thing I've ever experienced. I thought almost for sure I was going to die. When we first walked out of the house we heard people screaming help and everything. x_x Bad shit.. There were some fatalities too. But yeah, just thought I'd let everyone know. I'm going to be gone for a while until I get a roof over my head again. If you want to look into it, it hit national news. We've got the National Guard here and everything. It happened in Pleasant Grove, Alabama specifically, but you'll probably find more info if you look for Birmingham, AL or Tuscaloosa, AL. As far as I know it was rated as an EF5 tornado. My dad took pictures too, so if anyone's interested at all I'll post them later when I can.
I'm going back to Missouri with my brother when he's able to leave. Both of our cars are kinda trapped in the driveway right now. Too many trees and powerlines and whatnot blocking us. Which is weird because literally everything at our house flew a block or two down the road other than our cars.

That's terrifying news to read. Glad you're still alive. I'm currently watching one of the videos on a local news website, and am just :O
Keep us posted when you can and wish you all the best in getting yourself sorted.

It was a fun journey and thank you for having me.

Best of luck and wishes to you and everyone else who was affected by the tornadoes.
Anybody looking for video:
GMA report with some tornado footage
Raw footage of the tornado in Tuscaloosa, AL
EDIT: YouTube channel citizentube has some more video. I believe it's gotten front page status on YouTube.
