Xenia, OH got most of the press then because it was the largest town hit. I know, as far as the immediate relief was concerned, a lot of people felt neglected.

Here's a good breakdown of the day:

The only time in my life I was truly horrified.
Living in Hazel Green, Ala and seeing the next morning is forever embedded into my mind.
A mother, father, and child were among the victims that night. People were in shock and speechless just seeing the devastation.
So many different tornadoes that just kept coming all night. Listening to the police scanner was surreal.
Praying to never see that level again.
