Unfortunately there was a tornado today in Enterprise, AL... For those of you that may have forgot, Enterprise was hit by a EF4 tornado back on
March 1st 2007 where tragically 8 students were killed and at least 50 were injured inside the Enterprise High School... The students took cover in the proper place as
unluckily strong cement walls came down... The high school was basically destroyed!!! It was a very very sad story! Thankfully I don't think anyone was hurt today as what looks like an EF1 "maybe" an EF2 tornado hit the Civic Center... The roof ripped off the civic center, many cars in the parking lot were damaged as windows blew out, and there was also a lot of trees down... The tornado occurred around 11:50am CT and was very well warned by the
NWS... Here is the preliminary local storm report out of the Tallahassee
NWS office...
