_Photos: April 27, 2011 Superoutbreak - weather.com_ (http://www.weather.com/outlook/weather-news/news/articles/alabama-tornado-042711_2011-04-27) There's a ceremony at Coleman Coliseum at 5pm. Lots of dignitaries. It was a scary day with three waves coming thru. One to the north and one thru the middle and one to the south. When I first saw it I thought this is gonna hurt. But it made an eastward turn and missed UofA and my neighborhood. Guess the stats are pretty impressive raised the national average from 161 to 241 strikes per year. One of forecasters observing the damage said "Imagine a half mile wide lawnmower on the ground for 160 miles." and it was just one of over 760 that stretch. People who've come thru after being away are just floored at how much and how extensive the damage was. Coming back but it's going to be long pull.
