I'd have guessed the State of Terror.

My first thought was OK. Hard to believe it is actually Alabama.

I remember back in 2007 a large tornado hit Enterprise, AL which is just 40 miles north of me. I had to go up there a couple days after it hit. The scene was unreal. Wherever you went, the air smelled like shredded pine...very pungent.
One of the wildest scenes I saw, and I wish I had taken a picture of it, was a brick house that was up on a rise in the land....the entire south wall was gone, yet you could easily see the dining room table and surrounding chairs all untouched. The flower vase was still in the middle with flowers in it. Now think about that for a moment, winds so violent they rip off a wall yet leave a vase of flowers untouched not 8 ft from where that wall formally was.
