Tornado Rips Through a Hardware Store in Theodore, AL



     The las two video blogs I posted are the best severe weather videos I have found in a while!!  These were captured by surveillance cameras located in a hardware store in Theodore, Alabama.  This tornado was rated an EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita scale.  Winds ranged anywhere from 110-137 mph!!  As you can see in this video, the lights began to flicker once power lines began to fall in the surrounding towns.  Within seconds, the screen goes black and the building begins to crumble.  Winds swirled inside the store and tossed objects all over the place until the ceiling began to collapse.  Four injuries were reported from civilians that were unfortunately in the building at the time.  It was confirmed that everyone was luckily ok!
     This was just one of the many tornadoes that ripped across the deep south beginning March 8th and continuing through March 10th.
