Here at the Univeristy of Alabama, we are locked in our dorms. 3 tornados have already wrecked a couple podunk towns in Alabama. Here in Tuscaloosa, we saw one forming in the sky. It was kinda like watching a whirlpool in the water, but we were looking up. The circle was directly above us, moving downwind, and looked like it could have swallowed the entire campus. Toward its end, i got enough power to head toward the ground a little bit, but just as quick as it dropped 50 feet, the funnel sucked back up into the greyish-green clouds. Im so AMPED!!! To see something with that kind of power blows my mind. The combination of lightning and loud thunder made it that much more intense.

....i hope nobodys gotten killed

Yeah, they are showing some footage of Enterprise Alabama now. There are 5 confirmed dead at Enterprise High School alone. I think the total for the region is 8+.

Twisters are deadly as hell, but damn, there is really nothing I've seen that is more amazing. Seeing footage of them on TV just doesn't compare, ya know?

yea, i heard about enterprise. My pi-polar aunt lives there, but luckily she was hospitalized. I heard the entire football stadium was destroyed.

I hope the death count doesnt excede 5
