My tornado chase over the weekend is a chase I won't ever forget. Still processing the devastation over the weekend across Alabama on the first tornado chase I've ever done. It's all excitement and anticipation driving down to chase our first tornado until the aftermath.... Seeing the damage to these communities was absolutely heartbreaking. Houses being completely destroyed with debris spread over a half of a mile in each direction. Cars, trailers, and a school bus and more being lofted up. Straight metal being bent and ripped apart like it was plastic. Trees being shredded and thrown. People impacted by this had very little time to prepare as an EF-3 tornado came plowing down their community. 2 people got killed in Plantersville, Alabama with one of those people being picked up and thrown half a mile away. Devastating. These poor people will struggle to rebound. Poverty is a real issue in these small communities and it's heartbreaking to see. Pictures don't do justice. My thoughts go out to these communities that got impacted by this devastating event over the weekend
