It has been one full year since this event happened and since we saw James Spann in a way we haven't seen him before. April 27, 2011 is a day that no one in the Southeast will ever forget with all that was lost and with all of the unity that happened afterwards with people helping each other out. Homes and businesses were demolished beyond recognition, lives were lost and forever changed, possessions and dreams were lost and crushed. After a span of one year the pieces of peoples lives are still in the process of being picked up, but so much has been accomplished since that day last year. Clouds and even the chance of some showers scatter themselves over the Southeast, but no signs or chances of anything severe to stop the clean-up.
The National Weather Service for 16 offices, Shreveport, LA; Jackson, MS; Memphis, TN; Mobile, AL; Birmingham, AL; Huntsville, AL; Nashville, TN; Morristown, TN; Peachtree City, GA; Wilmington, OH; Greenville-Spartanburg, SC; Blacksburg, VA; Louisville, KY; Wakefield, VA; Baltimore-Washington; and State College, PA, commemorate this day in history on how it affected each one of them. Here is a map of all the tornadoes that touched down in Alabama.
Here is another image of a wider view of the Southeast region with all the tornado touchdowns.
This is something not only the people who were affected by this will remember, but our planet will remember for a while as the tornadoes left what are known as tornado scars on the ground.
This is an image that shows the damage path with regards to vegetation. Where you see area's of aqua are areas of no vegetation. It is clear to see the tornado paths of the EF-4 that went between Jasper and Cordova (top tornado path), the EF-4 Tuscaloosa and Birmingham tornado (middle tornado path), and the EF-3 that went through Sawyerville and Eoline (bottom tornado path).
