Super Freak
A small town near me on Sand Mountain was completely devastated. I won't show pics because the EF4 killed 8 people including two children. My family lost two long family friends in that community when their house was gone, we couldn't find any part of their home or cars and across the street 3 were killed including a child. Bodies were everywhere, God be with them and their families 
. A friend of my Dad's is a 2 year combat veteran of Vietnam and said he never saw any bomb damage that did this much damage. A mobile home was ripped off the frame and looks like it exploded in a deep ditch behind the foundation while the frame was wrapped 360 around a large tree that was snapped off about 40 feet off the ground on the opposite side of the road. My Brother works for TVA in the Nuclear Power division and told me they had 89 high tension, very large steel towers, destroyed. They put out the call and it was great to see over 100 power trucks coming down interstate 59 to help two days ago.
My wife is a Wallace State student and stays down in Cullman on school days and she was almost hit by the second tornado that hit Cullman, about an eighth of a mile away. The first tornado hit Wallace State and it's a mess and closed until further notice. I saw an 18 wheeler upside down and twisted like a pretzel and a dump truck and a school bus also. The twister that hit on Sand Mountain came down into the valley and went right between my parents and nephews, they live 300 yards apart with a field in the middle. My dad and nephew saw it while standing outside and looked up into the debris field and saw wood, a roof, and tons of metal. It took out 8 very large oak trees which all fell in different directions and lifted as it hit the ridge behind their homes dumping debris for several miles past them. Today we found more shingles, 2x4's, tin roofing, and something lodged in one of the oaks we couldn't identify.
I have survived 4 Hurricanes living either right on the beach or living on an island and I have not seen damage this bad.
If you can help please do, we are helping each other and will build back but many don't have the money or insurance to help and FEMA is nowhere to be seen, but the American Red Cross was here the next day with water, food, cots, and a smile.
If you pray please do so for the families of the fallen and to give them strength to go on

I thought you were talking about the movie. Wasn't Blaine in Predator from Alabama?
