The Weather in Central AL

Jefferson County Emergency Management officials have confirmed at least 10 people are dead in Concord and Pleasant Grove following the today's violent storms.

"We are going to retrieve the bodies we can right now," said Jefferson County Chief Deputy Coroner Pat Curry. "In a situation like this, the first step is to make sure we have a positive ID."

"When it is safe, we will retrieve the bodies and transport them to Cooper Green (Mercy Hospital)," Curry said.

"We are telling the people in the field to tag the ones with positive ID, and we will get to them as fast as we can."

This is worse than the 1998 storm that pushed through the same track. Some of those communities took 10+ years to fully recover.

Calhoun County, Goshen, AL - Palm Sunday 1993. Goshen United Methodist Church in path of mile wide F-5. LEVELED Goshen, which is right outside of Piedmont. Killed 23 people total, 21 inside the sanctuary and in the nursery, including a guy I graduated high school with and his wife and young daughter. My dad was a first responder. He still will not talk about going inside that church nursery.

The tornado that did all of the damage in Cullman went right over my house. Thankfully I don't even have a tree down. When I was driving through to work this morning, it looked like I was driving through a city that had been bombed. It really looks like a war zone.
