the view from a neighboring town of the tornado finishing up Cordova, AL |
the am tornado hit main street |
and a longer view of main street |
disbelief, shock, unknown
neighbors helping, people gathering, townfolks walking miles to see
we drill for years; prepare for the day
but when it comes, what can we say?
oh powerful force, the awe of God
destructive winds, my heart-torn land
the canopy of hanging trees, my daily drive, the sight i'd see
all now gone, blocking roads, collapsed on cars, crushing homes
buildings and jobs we can replace
but not the souls of Cordova's face
In memory of the nine who died.
In honor of the ones who rebuild...
