also scary how close it came to the hospital there.
My grandmother was in Decatur Hospital when the Hackleburg/Phil Campbell tornado passed about 3 miles to their Northwest. Its power was knocked out, and they were running on emergency generator power only. Well, that night she started saying she was dying and asking for our preacher. My aunt who was staying with her at night started panicking and calling everyone. There was so much damage and phone service was so spotty that it took her a while to get a deacon from their church to come. He and his wife came, our preacher ended up getting the message and coming, another preacher we knew who was already there for people of his church who had been taken there due to injuries came in, as well as the pastor who worked with the hospital. Evidently, through their combined efforts, they pulled her through. My aunt and Mom still believe my grandmother was just being dramatic.
