April 27, 2011: A devastating tornado ripped through the heart of Tuscaloosa, killing 53 people including six university students. Among them were Loryn Brown, the well-known daughter of former Alabama football player Shannon Brown, and Ashley Harrison, the girlfriend of long-snapper Carson Tinker. He sustained a broken wrist, concussion and ankle injury, while she died almost immediately from a broken neck. Harrison was 22.

I have a thread that I started over on the OT the other day with a lengthy synopsis of the overall 2011 Super Outbreak. I also included numerous links and videos for many of the tornadoes that occurred in Mississippi and Alabama that day. I know this thread is obviously going to be focused on the tornado that hit Tuscaloosa (and later Birmingham), but I did want to share this thread for those who want to read about the broader outbreak that impacted so many places throughout east Mississippi and Alabama.
Here is the thread: LINK /
