Title: Birmingham Tornado Post by: AO15 on April 29, 2011, 01:24:48 PM Im a Birmingham Firefighter and just wanted to share some of the destruction that I have witnessed in the past 36 hours. I was at work when the tornado hit and spent most of the night searching for survivors of this horrible disaster. I have seen more death and destruction this week than I ever want to see in my lifetime. My prayers are with every one in Tuscaloosa and other towns dealing with the tragedy. God Bless
