The Taco Casa I used to frequent, gone. McAlisters suffered damage, the Wendys...demolished. The mall, gas stations, Krispy Kreme and Milos, totally unrecognizable. I can't imagine what it really looks like in person but it's gut wrenching to see the images, coverage on TV and facebook posts. The death tolls are rising in both Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and beyond. I pray peace on all that have to deal with this royal mess!
The images are so saddening, especially if you have a tie to the town. My heart breaks for those students and residents, business owners and lovers of Tuscaloosa in general. I know the surrounding towns and all over the southeast have been pounded with these storms over the last 48 hours and my heart breaks for each and everyone of you affected by these nasty storms.
Here are some shots and a link to a video of the madness that hit Tuscaloosa yesterday.

I'm so sorry Melissa, this is so devastating. My thoughts are with the people affected by these storms.
ugh that is just awful. we had tornadoes here too but luckily nothing too bad. it's so scary to know so many people have died because of all the tornadoes this week.
This is terrible, so sad. My prayers are with everyone affected.
That is very sad! It is so terrible how quickly everything happened.
On a happy note, congratulations on your marriage! So happy for you! My wedding (on the very same day as yours) was just absolutely beautiful. The weather, people, fun... it all went well. I hope the same for you! Hope you're enjoying Hawaii and looking forward to hearing all about it as well as your wedding day soon! :)
