One pic of the high tension power lines just across the river from Decatur in Limestone County.
Just bent them like a paper clip or something. Truly incredible. If the winds had been much stronger, it probably would have just pulled them out of the ground.

Have a brother-in-law whose family owns a large tow truck operation in north Alabama. I trekked up there on the 29th, not to gawk but to help. On that Saturday we were on the road from 5am until 10PM hauling trashed vehicles, boats, trailers, farm equipment, you name it.
One of the last pickups of the day was a few miles west of Decatur where one had came through. The family's house was roofless yet they wanted to stay there for the night because they had no vehicle and no where to go. We carried them to a hotel and I footed the bill for the night. Not a hero, just compassion takes over sometimes.
We get a Christmas card from them every year.

Even further down the path at the Hwy 72 and Mooresville Road intersection, there were about five or so concrete rebar-reinforced power poles that were sheared off about 4 ft. above the ground. They were relatively new poles that weren't broken or crumbled, they weren't pushed over at the base, they were sheared off....rebar and all.
I remember seeing that a couple days later. I was driving with my Pops and aunt with me. The intersection was clear, but with no stoplights it was a four-way stop. The truck behind us eased around me because I was just staring. The guy said, "I did the same thing yesterday when I saw that. It is just unreal." It was unreal.
