I just talked to a friend in Alberta City. She is fine but has been w/o power since Weds. She goes out and sits in her truck to charge her cell phone and listen to the radio to get updates. I tried explaining what Alberta looked like. Finally I gave up and told her that I would send pics via my phone to her phone so she could see. When she saw them, she was completely shocked/devastated. HEARING what happened is nowhere near SEEING what happened.
She also said that a man that lives in the devastated area, said that 2 minutes after the tornado passed over, looters were RUNNING into the Auto Zone to steal. I personally think looters should be shot on sight.

Its a sad commentary on humanity that there are those willing to profit off of tragedy.

Just to show you how different cultures are, with all the devastation in Japan, there was not one reported instance of looting there.

I know! and I agree - it is a sad commentary on the character of some of our own. Just ridiculous.

Disasters bring out the best in most, the worst in others.

Maddox also said that 446 residents are currently unaccounted for. But he tempered that figure by saying many among that total likely are either repeated reports of the same person, or the missing individual has been found but the city’s information has not yet been updated.

That was pretty close, but the videos I have seen made it look like the tornado was even closer than that. I guess it was just the size of the storm that threw the perspective off.

  I just got "final notification." Leaving DHN at 1400 Sunday, going to B'ham (area). First team was told to be ready to stay 7 days. We ( second team) are relieving them after four. I am hearing some really bad stuff. I am not looking forward to going, however I think that the state and federal tax payers have invested enough money in training and equipment for me, and that the Lord has give me a certain combination of abilities that I am most certainly obligated.

[XBAMA]

 I am most certainly obligated.

The people of Birmingham are very fortunate to have you and your squad coming to
take care of them and help out . it would make me feel better to know ya'll were on the way .
be safe and if you can we would love to hear from you if possible .

Take care Doc and be careful ...
