BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE! On April 27th, 2011 was a historical day for the state of Alabama, along with several other states in the south, as we had hundreds of tornadoes sweep through the south. The town of Hackleburg, Alabama was hit by the only F-5 Tornado in the state. Our town of around 1500 people was almost completely destroyed as churches, schools, homes, and almost all our stores were destroyed. It will take years to completely rebuild not only the buildings, but the lives.
