Alabama was hit by record breaking numbers of tornadoes on April 27, 2011. Starting with straight line winds that morning, devastation continued all through the day. Tornadoes ripped through communities, taking lives, homes and anything they touched. Recovery is slow, but steady. Alabamians are looking after each other, helping with the rebuilding of homes, businesses and lives. Southern Pride!

These are a few pictures from Fultondale and Smithville.
