A strong F-5 tornado struck Tuscaloosa Wednesday. As usual, you can count on Hurricane Creekkeeper John Wathen to document the event on video, especially since this one hit his neighborhood hard.

He watched as Hurricane Creek vaporized and came up the hill as a huge fog bank, he said. “I have been to a couple of state fairs and one hog breeding and I have never seen anything like this in my life.”
