it's good or bad." - Sandra
BullockAlabama recently experienced one of the most devastating disasters in the state's history. Wednesday April 27, there were 312 tornadoes that ripped through the state causing damage and claiming lives. I have lived here all my life and have never seen anything like it.
The damage was shocking, but the after math was even more surprising. Buildings are gone. There were injuries and fatalities. There was no power or water. Trees blocked roads and access to assistance. However, in the middle of the chaos, there was hope.
People came together to help each other out. Neighbors helping neighbors. People who lost almost everything, reaching out to those who lost more. Disaster created need and the community came together to respond. Every agency, non-profit and church mobilized and acted immediately. Donations poured in. Shelters went up. Food, clothing and other supplies were handed out.
It will take years to rebuild what was lost in the storm but we'll get there. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered or helped out a neighbor. I believe it will come back to you....hopefully, when you need it the most.
