as to how goofy a president of the USA can be.....

The devastation prompted President Trump to tweet:

To the great people of Alabama and surrounding areas: Please be careful and safe. Tornadoes and storms were truly violent and more could be coming. To the families and friends of the victims, and to the injured, God bless you all!

I'm sure this is just what the folks still terrified from this event needed from their favorite New York playboy.

The death toll has jumped to 23 and could go higher after at least two tornadoes hit southern Lee County Sunday afternoon, according to Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones. The sheriff said people are still reported missing, and a more organized search will be conducted in the morning.

“We’ve done everything we feel like we can do this evening. The area is just very, very hazardous to put anybody in to at this point in time - debris everywhere and it’s just...just some mass damage to structures and residences in the area,” Jones said.

The National Weather Service in Birmingham says the first tornado that impacted Lee County Sunday afternoon was at least an EF-3 and at least half a mile wide. The NWS will be sending survey teams to do more detailed assessments in Autauga, Macon, Lee, Barbour and Butler counties Monday.

Horrible thing to witness and in many years past, we've had our share through KY and TN......
