This is a video of the damage caused by a tornado which struck Enterprise, AL. My roommates and my house survived (although the house was severely damaged). We were the lucky ones. Our next door neighbor's house was completely wiped out. They survived by hiding in an inside bathroom.

  • Our house that we still owen in the 4th house down from you. white siding with black shutters. I think there is a tree on top of the roof and the fences re down from what I have heard. Can u film around there, including the house across from it? I saw what the forest looked like behind your house, which scares me, because I loved the woods, and I know that ours might look the same.

  • Hey Aburdette! We drove past the house today, there is a tree on the left-side roof. It sees to have damaged the roof, but not nearly as bad as some of the other houses. The gutters are slightly bent, but other than that, that seemed to be the only damage. My friends and I realized, based on the damage, that a smaller tornado swept through behind your house, perpendicular to the one that hit ours.

  • Please take more video. I lived in E'prise over 20+ yrs, but moved to TX a couple of years ago. My brother (dolemike77), sister (aburdette), & I all live in different states are trying to find out more info. My parents still own a house on your street. I can't believe that house next door is gone. The trees...before you couldn't see thru them since they were so thick. And now... My hearts and prayers go out to Enterprise. I have a lot of friends there and wish I could be there to comfort.

  • I appreciate your concern, MaliaRichmond. If you need me to check on anyone, or any specific house (I asked your brother for directions/descriptions of your house) please let me know! I'll be happy to look into anything that might help you. Just post more comments or send me a message!

  • I just wantto thank you guys for giving some video to the mayhem you all experienced down there. It has been a very traumatic and tragic day for you all down there , and I can only imagine how scary it must have been for you all. Thanks again for your journalistic input, and good luck to all of you trying to rebuild your lives after such a dramatic start to spring.

  • Hi Iprum. I'm sorry the video was poorly shot, badly narrated, and a bit short. My camera had very little memory left (much to my dismay). I do appreciate your concern, though. It's very comforting to know that there are people like you out there who are concerned for those affected by the severe weather. I wish I could shake your hand! Anyway, we'll rebuild and life will go on. Thank you!

see all

  • hey..im from enterprise and my school was about 2 miles away from the highschool, have you been to enterprise yet?

  • Thanks! We were able to get pics of the house. It looks fine except minor damages. We did lose a shed, though. It doesn't compare to the devistation of others. We have many friends there that their houses were destroyed. My heart goes out to the families that lost their lives and homes.

  • i have gotten pictures from people down the street, but thank you for the information i just happy to here despite all my friends are ok. the willets house is up on oliver drive and lakehill drive
