re: Today marks the 13th anniversary of the start of the April 25-28, 2011 Super Outbreak

Wasn’t this when the mammoth EF5 tore through Tuscaloosa and just barely missed Bryant-Denny? If so, I remember that day vividly. My office had closed early so I was in my living room watching coverage of the monster tornado tearing though Tuscaloosa. One of my neighbors called me and told me to come outside. When I went out in the yard, you could see the clouds flying by overhead unusually low and really fast. You could see debris blowing along with it, mostly pieces of pink insulation. Bits of paper was coming down almost like a light snow. Later we found a phone bill in my driveway from a chicken farm close to Tuscaloosa. One of my neighbors found a small child’s shoe in her yard. And I live 95 miles northeast of Tuscaloosa!
