- Wow, that place was just leveled; I an see a foundation or basement with a trail of debris off to the northeast. And the forests there were just swirled along the ground. Look also at the big new houses on the ridge a litlte farther along. I'm sure they were strong houses...but were simply dismantled.

It really breaks my heart to see all this. I lived in concord for 6 years and it is so shocking to see it now. This is the worst sight ever, stay strong bama.

The first minute and a half of the video is the Concord area ... after that, it gets into Pleasant Grove. The road that they fly over at about 16-17 seconds in is Warrior River Road ... the building shown at the 18-19 second mark is Concord Highlands Baptist Church and their family life center.
