One of those small towns that suffered greatly in both outbreaks is the town of Tanner, Alabama in Limestone County.
This is a rough overlay of the tornadoes that impacted the town during both events:
Those three reddish color paths are the three (E)F5s that struck the town. The wider path in the center is from what is known as the Hackleburg/Phil Campbell storm. It did EF5 damage in Tanner.
On the night of April 3, 1974, as the people of Tanner were just digging out from the rubble of what would be an F5 tornado, looking for the injured and taking stock of the dead, they would be struck by another F5 tornado.
A brief snippet of radio coverage from that exact period of time, on the ground in Tanner

More radio coverage from the Tanner area immediately following the first tornado
The same trailer park (it is a huge one that also caters to RVs) would be hit in 2011. The road they are talking about would take a direct hit in 2011.
Aerial video of some of the damage in Limestone and Madison counties
