Last night a tornado hit a trailer park just miles from where I used to live. In Talladega, a bus was thrown into the roof of a high school. Several schools in the path would have been out on the roads at Prom if not for the warnings of the National weather service last night. Thank NWS.
A photo of a school bus picked up and smashed onto the lower roof of a brick High School.
