From Andrew Noles “Hi James. We live in Harvest. This is the only road leading into our neighborhood, located where the love ditch is. This is right beside Yarborough Road and Ford Chapel Road. Currently not passable unless you’re in a SUV or a truck.”
Today, we remember the 53 people who lost their lives on April 27, 2011 when an EF-4 tornado destroyed 13 percent of our City.
In less than six minutes, lives were lost, 5,000 homes, businesses and churches were damaged or destroyed, 1,200 were injured and more than 7,000 people became unemployed.
In our darkest hour, we met the worst of Mother Nature with the best of humanity. It was our citizens who cleared the streets, searched for the missing and transported the injured. TPD, TFR, and countless city team members became heroes who ensured the calm in a sea of chaos. Our heroes were joined by so many other heroes from the City of Northport, Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, University of Alabama, DCH Regional Medical Center, and countless other first responders. We owe all of you a debt we can never repay.
We promised to rebuild in a way that honored all those who lost so much. We promised to never forget. On this day, may our prayers and thoughts be with those who lost so much and with our heroes who refused to give in to unimaginable adversity.
April: Be a month of unwavering confidence & unapologetic boldness. May we stop shrinking to fit anyone’s mold & instead rise up in our greatness; owning our stories, speaking our truths, & evolving past any & all spaces that would seek to keep us small.
Riley Strain’s family has had a second autopsy done.
They say Riley was found in the river near Nashville without his cowboy boots and jeans on – and the coroner said there was a “lack of water” in Riley’s lungs which “raises more questions.”
Earlier this month, some of our players joined a figure skating camp at the Huntsville Ice Sports Center!
