Today is April 27, 2022, which is 11 years after the tornado outbreak of a generation in Alabama that took the lives of 252 people in the state. I don't think anyone here that day will ever forget that day, but may we take a little time today to remember those lost 11 years ago. (Details)

First, today's weather:

Sunny and pleasant. High: 73 Low: 46.
