Tornado Devastation in My Little Corner of Northwest Alabama.      The EF5 Tornado that ripped through Northwest Alabama was horrifying to say the least.  Phil Campbell is a little town just 10 minutes south of my hometown of Russellville in Franklin County.  And Hackleburg lies just to the west of Phil Campbell.  Many of my family, friends and clients are from these small rural areas.     The day of "the storm" was a day filled with warnings and watches.  My day began at 3:50am with my family huddled in our basement as the first warning came across the TV...and the warnings just kept coming and coming and coming...all day long.  As the last line of storms finally passed, those around me(my little family) breathed a sigh of relief that we escaped with only a few trees down in our yard. ... 05/05/2011
