I will have more previews of SEC football teams this week starting with Arkansas tomorrow and continuing with Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Kentucky, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt, but thought it would be more appropriate today to talk about the tragedy that occurred in Alabama and neighboring states in the South last Wednesday  The tornadoes that ripped through this state on Thursday were massive and unforgiving in their destructiveness. Everything has paled in comparison the last five days since the tragedy struck.
It looked like an EF5 tornado though some are classifying it as an EF4 with winds of 175 miles an hour. But by looking at that tornado in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham which was caught by the CBS 42 cameras, it was enormous and very, very terrifying. Please keep Tuscaloosa, Pleasant Grove, Pratt City, Concord, DeKalb County, Cullman, Lake Martin and Marion County among other places in Alabama in your thoughts and prayers. The positive about this is that many, many people have come to the aid of the places and the people that and who were devastated by this disaster. If you could make any kind of contribution at all to the Red Cross or the Salvation Army for “Tornado Relief,” that would be greatly appreciated by all the people of Alabama. I know Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee and Georgia took hits, too, so our prayers go out to them as well.

I’ll preview the rest of the teams in the SEC beginning tomorrow. I just thought today it was more appropriate to talk about the terrible tragedy and to help those in need in these areas that were ravaged by the tornadoes. Please keep those people in your prayers.
