Tornado
Things have been rough for some folks near here. A tornado struck Tuscaloosa, Alabama this past Saturday and killed 11 people.
I was in Bessemer, Alabama at the time, a suburb (kinda) of Birmingham, working at a charitable event. Bessemer is only about 30 minutes away from Tuscaloosa, and at one point during the afternoon, we had to go downstairs and sit in a concrete hallway, hoping that the tornados would pass us by.
At the time, I thought it was a bit much, having us go downstairs. Then I watched the news that evening.
