I've been pretty inactive on the forum lately. I'm sure many of you have seen the news and heard about the terrible storms that spawned over 200 tornadoes (last count I saw anyway) and killed over 300 people in the south, including over 200 in Alabama alone. Fortunately my house and family were spared any damage other than being without power for a week, but neighborhoods just last than a couple of miles from me were not so fortunate.
There is an extensive cleanup effort going on here in northern Alabama and I've been privileged to help with a lot of it. I snapped a few photos on one day of helping, but to be honest I just took a few quick ones before getting back to work.
There's been a lot of tragedy with this storm, but to take away something positive it's to see how many people are working together to help others recover and start to heal. This aspect has been pretty amazing and inspiring.
Hope you all are well.
I had never been in this neighborhood before, but I compared to images from Google Street View and it is totally unrecognizable.
Can't forget this group. They were out all day long, from morning to night, cooking and serving food to everyone that lived there and the 1,000+ volunteers that showed up to help.
