@Arabian64 Thankfully I heard from my Dad a couple of days after I left that message, he told me they are o.k. Thanks though for letting me know. (I was neighbors with them back in 1977-1978).
Anybody know what the damage was along 9th Street...about a mile from Don's Convenience store? have some old family friends there (Dwight and Tina Copeland) I hope they are o.k.
My fiance lives in Arab. He and his family lost pretty much everything. It upsets me to watch footage of all the tornadoes that demolished our state. Prayers go out to everyone effected my this
Sorry everyone it's taken forever for me to reply to comments. We are still without power and I have to come out to my truck and use the laptop to get online.
This was taken at the old SCI building in Arab.
Also, cops have not escorted anyone out of the local wal-mart in Arab. Been listening to the scanner and haven't heard anything about it.
My dad lives in Arab, he said that he went to walmart and police were having to escort people in and out of WALMART. walmart!! Also there is no gas, electricity, no phone service (land or cell), and no Internet. He can receive calls at work, which is at Cherokee Ridge, just outside of Arab. But he can't make calls. Luckily my Dad is okay!! I was freakin out, man.
My condolences to those actually affected by the tornado. My grandma and grandpa live in ruth and most of the houses beside her are gone. luckily her and her house are ok
Is this the same tornado that went through Union Grove?
I live a few miles from the school (which my little bro goes to) and I heard a bunch of houses got damaged there and I was wondering if UGES got damaged. Also if anyone is near hazel green I have a friend who lives there near a place called Hazel Green Pharmacy or something another and I can't get ahold of him. The only reason I can get on the internet is us Morgan City-ites have power for reasons currently unknown. us lucky bastards.
OMG, this is so scary. So far I've been lucky in my family is safe. I grew up down that road. I have family in the cemetery there. I've played softball on the ball field behind SCI!
maggieami, i live in Arab power is out and stayin out, it is TORN UP! If she lives on 231, on Scant City Rd, or Ruth, im afraid it isnt good. The only reason i am able to get internet is cuz im in Gasdsen, good luck, bless ya'll. -bw
I have a friend who lives in Arab. Can't reach her by phone or internet, but I figure power is out a lot of places. How can I find a list of casualties?

I also know Dwight and Tina Copeland. The storm was 2-3 miles away from their home. Hopefully, they were nowhere near the tornado.

Umm...I think you need to change the date of the tornado to 4-27 being as it couldn't possibly have happened today (4-28).
