Anytime anyone shares that top video of the tornado plowing through my hometown, I have to stop and watch it. And it guts me every time. But the fact that that particular tornado only caused one fatality in Cullman County (Fairview) is nothing short of a miracle. The only other fatality in the county that day was from the early morning EF-2 in Hanceville. Sadly, when this twister moved into Marshall County it intensified and killed an entire family in Ruth except for a little girl. I think I'm going to be obsessed/haunted with this day for the rest of my life.

am I going to end up stumbling upon a New Harmony photo next?

it's so small
