Tornado In Alabama, April 27, 2011

Oh how furious it was, God sent his power from above. He let the Black clouds and the rain come gushing through our window panes. Oh what scary a sight to see, I felt like running, I tried to free me. The gushing winds blowing so fast, I never thought I would last. The winds he sent was meant to be, to warn all of us our souls need to be free. He sent his fury fast and long, we were all surprised where it roamed. The tornadoes went from one county to another, sending its wrath, killing, destroying and giving us trouble. Cries were heard throughout the night, People screaming and praying with all their might. The tornadoes did not stop, they destroyed our lands, and ruined our crops. The devastation it left on our minds is here to stay and will never go away. This is a terrible storm we will never forget, because it lasted a long time and all of us were upset. We hoped and prayed it would pass us by, asking and praying to God, please dont let us die! We all tried to seek shelter in our homes, before we knew it, everything was gone. Some of us found ourselves standing outside with nothing hardly for cover, we were screaming and crying searching for one another.

It must have been horrible. I wasn't there until late that night when i arrived on a back road in my rig without power for the last hundred miles I almost run up on a fallen tree. Then the next dayI was stranded in Phil Campbell among the morning calm. The sorrow I felt, but impressive where Alabamians in how the so quickly gathered together to respond to such tragedy. Care to read my poem Alabama nights April 27, 2011.
