Tonight the boys and I are attending ABC 33/40's Storm Alert 2008 in Oak Grove, Alabama. Oak Grove is in western Jefferson County and was the site of an F5 tornado on April 8, 1998 which killed 32 people in Jefferson County, AL. The twister traveled east-northeast impacting Oak Grove, Concord, Pleasant Grove, Edgewater, McDonald's Chapel, and Pratt City. F5 damage was in the Concord, McDonalds Chapel, and Edgewater areas. I recently posted a seven minute video on YouTube of the damage I captured on video one month after the tornado. That was a very sad day in Alabama history. The Birmingham NWS and James Spann did an excellent job that day and probably saved numerous lives.
I will post more on this later...
