SAY IT AIN'T SNOW!! Aftermath of WinterStorm 2014
Yesterday, many Birmingham motorists found themselves stuck in their cars in the Magic City for over 12 hours. Countless people began running out of fuel & running out of hope. At 4 am this morning, I lay awake in bed listening to the heroic efforts of the Hoover Police Department via the police scanner as they spent all night going car to car trying to get those stranded to safety. In the midst of yesterday's mass chaos, countless stories of complete strangers risking their own safety to help others get home to their families. Whether it be pushing cars for hours in the freezing cold or simply getting supplies to those stuck in the gridlock, it was a heartwarming reminder to me that humanity is still alive and well. And sadly, there were also reports of abandoned cars being broken into last night, too. People who take advantage of catastrophic situations in such a manner really should just be locked away forever because they don't have souls....
