I'm not lying in any of this thread and this is all personal. I would like it if you would take this seriously and not as a joke because it's not. So basically I will tell you my "story" and tell you what has been happening, so if you don't want to read it or you just wanna joke about it leave now.

So I was sitting on my couch with a couple friends over playing Portal 2 and my mom told me that there was a tornado warning and I was like ok because we have tornado warnings all the time where I live.

Then she was like no come here so I walked in the other room and the news was on and all the sudden I saw a huge tornado just ripping through like neighborhoods and stuff so I was like oh shit! So then I grabbed a flashlight and we all went downstairs to the basement. We watched the news downstairs and we saw it on T.V. then the lights flickered 3 times and the power went out so we just sat there for about 45 minutes and listened to the weather radio then the tornado headed North of us so we went upstairs and ate dinner and everything and after dinner we decided to go out and look around the town to see how serious it actually was.

So we went down and we almost reached the university mall and there was a huge line of traffic it took like 15 min to get through the light then we got to the end of the mall and it was total ****ing destruction I was like HOLY SHIT! It was like nothing I have ever seen it was like a nightmare it was horrible you just say buildings that were so destroyed you didn't know what they were. It was just sad and you saw a ton of police and the military was all over the road. You just saw piles of rubble and wood and steal in place of pawn shops and places I used to eat at and stuff here was a hobby lobby:

You just walked out and saw glass on the ground and rubbed and metal and it just looked like a war zone. So then we went back home which took 2 hours. Then on Thursday we found out that we were on water restriction and that Obama was coming down to our city (Tuscaloosa, Alabama) to see the damage we also found out we were out of school for the rest of the week. On Friday we Obama came and we found out we were supposed to be out of water by 12 pm that night.

We also found out we were out of school on Monday. Currently where I live the death toll is around 100 the death toll in Alabama is around 200 the national death toll is about 400 there are still about 150,000 people with out power. There are 10 other states helping us get power to other people. There are 750 national guard men here, and Obama just ordered 500 more that should arrive Monday. I know about five people with no home. Here are some more pictures I took with my phone:
