Alabamians are remembering the devasting tornado outbreak that destroyed communities across the state on April 27, 2011. According to the National Weather Service, the super-outbreak affected 26 states across the Southeast, but Alabama saw the worst destruction.

The purpose of Severe Weather Awareness Week is to provide people with the knowledge necessary to protect their lives when severe weather threatens.

Monday night’s rough weather in Alabama is an example of how tornadoes can even hit during the Winter. The system prompted tornado warnings in Mobile and Baldwin Counties. Forecasters say peak season typically lasts from March to May, but twisters can happen any time of the year.

Thousands of people across Alabama were without power Wednesday night amid the storms. At one point, the outages were affecting close to 50,000 people in the state. Witnesses posted video of tornadoes hitting Abbeville and Eufala.

Taxpayers have one day left to file Alabama and federal taxes. Alabama offers an automatic extension to those in need of additional time past Tuesday’s deadline. That pushes the file date to October sixteenth.
