The April 14-16 2011 Tornados

Damage in Pleasant Grove, April 27, 2011

     Lots of folks are remembering the year-ago this weekend tornado outbreak, one of the largest in Alabama history...in terms of the number of actual twisters. 
    Nobody knew then that the even deadlier outbreak was just days away...on April 27th. 
     The Wall Street Journal published a story a few days ago saying the recovery in Tuscaloosa has been slowed by government...city government. It says the recovery in later-hit Joplin Missouri is moving ahead much faster.
    And, eerily, here we are with the potential for more severe weather in Alabama this coming week.
