Tuscaloosa Tornado Damage Aerials Part 2 

Just realized being in a forest while a tornado comes through would be the worst

The number of trees down is just mind blowing.

@dryan22 most of those roads are people's driveways... this is actually a fairly densely populated part of the state

@seadannie tornadoes are rotating columns of air, the rotation of the tornado causes the trees and destruction to look random

This proves how truly small we are.

I was thinking the same thing.. I am from Vancouver, Washington and was 5 when mt. st helens blew

I noticed a bunch of mysterious roads leading to empty cul-de-sacs...are these hydraulic fracking sites?

Absolute Disaster...my goodness my heart cries for these people

since part one and two how far miles it been through from begin to end ?

why does it look like the trees are blown down in all different patterns and directions in stead of in one main direction as the tornado path goes on ......just trying to understand tornadoes

@drevenkaine Not really. There will not be enough time/manpower to collect all of those downed trees before they begin to rot.

I didn't think it was going to end...

Or lightly constructed buildings were there and were completely swept away. But it's possible, that, or oil exploration sites that didn't have rigs over them at the time of this.

@stlouismom There won't be a shortage of firewood for the next several winters, that's certain.

How long did this tornado last?

This video shows the true power of tornadoes. Why again do people disregard tornado warnings, because they don't want to get off the couch or finish watching their fav tv series?

@lovethatcat2 they are so broken up when you see them on the ground that it is not worth the effort...

@stlouismom I live in Tuscaloosa, was very scary ... worst one to ever hit us by far.

All this timber laying around will eventually be a fire hazard. A big "blow down" in Minnesota's BWCA on the Canadian border blew down millions of trees. There were a lot of forest fires several years thereafter from all of the downed timber. Probably the same risk here in Alabama.

80 miles of devastation and tim marshall didn't rate it an EF5. What a putz.

Behold the power of mother nature

Behold the power of mother nature.

GOD BLESS TUSCALOOSA

God Of Air

@drevenkaine all building trades will boom...lets see the insurance company's try to weasel out of paying
