He said the tornadoes hit only 3 states, it hit FIVE - MS, AL, GA, TN and VA. In the county where I live in TN, there were over 280 homes destroyed and another 300 or so with major and minor damage. About 500 families are displaced, but we don't get on the national news. About 4 counties in TN were declared disaster areas.

@mdsmemories He came to Cullman because it's where he used to live. The benefit was for all victims of tornadoes across the country, though.

@myfld20 I'm not annoyed by the fact he came to your town, but by his lack of knowledge that the tornadoes hit more than just 3 states. But I guess if anybody only watched the national news, they probably would think the tornadoes only hit AL and GA. They also hit eastern NC before the April 27 storms came, but everybody's forgotten about that by now as well.
