From an alumni of the University of Alabama, I’m sure I can speak for the vast majority of us, that the outpouring of support has been much appreciated from around the nation. I thank you, and I’m sure they do as well. People coming from around the country to lend a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on will go a long way for Tuscaloosa’s recovery.
So you can imagine the dismay I felt while I watched live on TV (the power never went out in my area) that monstrous tornado gorging on whatever was in its path, and then it passes right by Bryant-Denny Stadium, as if it said, “I can if I want to.”
I wasn’t horrified because it would tear down a great venue for football, but behind the stadium lies a graveyard, behind the graveyard lies 15th Street where I would head for my Domino’s, McDonald’s, gas and in later years, Midtown Village.
Thank God, I’ve never been involved in a tornado personally, but for the first time, a place that I knew, I mean really knew, was being destroyed right before my eyes. I couldn’t say anything, I was glued to the television and speechless.
