I live in NC and lost a friend in Sanford when they hit here.
We have two good friends in Tuscaloosa that live beside each other that my wife shows dogs with. Both houses destroyed, one just a slab left. One we've heard from, luckily she wasn't home, the other missing and no one has heard from her. They sort of shared a kennel, totally gone, all dogs found dead or missing. We fear she may have tried to save the dogs or get them to her basement. It's been searched and intact and she's not in it.
My daughter travels with them as a handler and lived there part time up until last month...scary thought.
This video probably is the tornado, heard him say it's passing Joe Mallisham Pkwy, she lives a mile of so off it from town. They said this tornado stayed on the ground for over 150 miles.
