INSIDE BECAUSE IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO BE OUTSIDE. LISA: FINDING A PLACE TO LIVE AFTER A TORNADO IS DIFFICULT ENOUGH. JERRY: CHIP SCARBOROUGH IS LIVE NOW IN THE FOREST LAKE NEIGHBORHOOD TO TELL US ABOUT ONE FAMILY’S JOURNEY AFTER APRIL 27. CHIP: REBECCA MINDER, WHO NOW LIVES HERE IN FOREST LAKE, WAS LIVING OVER IN ALBERTA 10 YEARS AGO. SHE WAS OUT RUNNING ERRANDS THAT AFTERNOON AND GOT HOME JUST 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE STORM HIT. >> IT SOUNDS LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN THEY SAY, BUT FOR US, IT WAS LIKE A JET ENGINE. CHIP: THIS IS A PICTURE OF GARY STANDING OUTSIDE OF WHAT USED TO BE THEIR HOME IN TUSCALOOSA BEFORE THE APRIL 27 TORNADO CHANGED EVERYTHING. >> FOR US, IT SEEMS LIKE OH, IT JUST HAPPENED YESTERDAY. AND THEN WHEN YOU TELL US IT’S BEEN 10 YEARS, IT REALLY IS A SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM BECAUSE YOU JUST CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S BEEN THAT LON CHIP: MENDER’S FORMER HOME WAS IN ALBERTA, THE AREA OF TUSCALOOSA LEFT WITH THE MOST DESTRUCTION. SHE AND HER HUSBAND WEREN’T HURT, BUT PEOPLE NEARBY WERE. SOME LOST THEIR LIVES. >> MY HUSBAND UNFORTUNATELY WALKED DOWN THE STREET TO AN APARTMENT COMPLEX NEAR THE OLD LA ROCCA NURSING HOME TO ASSIST SOME PEOPLE AND HE SAW MANY LOSSES OF LIFE JUST IN THA APARTMENT COMPLEX. CHIP: SO, REBECCA MINDER MOVED FROM ONE PART OF TUSCALOOSA HIT HARD BY THE TORNADO OVER IN ALBERTA, ALL THE WAY OVER HERE TO FOREST LAKE, ALSO HIT HARD. >> AND IT HAS A BASEMENT. SO, NOW YOU LOOK FOR HOUSES WITH BASEMENTS, SO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A SAFE PLACE TO GO TO. CHIP: THIS AERIAL FOOTAGE SHOWS YOU WHAT THE FOREST LAKE AREA LOOKED LIKE AFTER THE APRIL 27 TORNADO. A STORM THAT’S FORCED PEOPLE HERE IN TUSCALOOSA NOT TO TAKE ANY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT LIGHTL >> A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DEFINITELY PAYING MORE ATTENTION. AND I HONESTLY ATTRIBUTE THAT TO ALL OF THE NEWS MEDIA GIVING PEOPLE LIKE A BULLET LIST OF ITEMS THAT YOU NEED. WHETHER IT’S A SAFE ROOM TO GO OR IF YOU’RE WEARING A HEAD GEAR LIKE A FOOTBALL HELMET OR BASEBALL HELMET OR SOMETHING, A BICYCLE HELMET. CHIP: AND WHILE NOTHING WILL BRING BACK THE 53 PEOPLE LOST ON APRIL 27, THOSE FEW SAFETY MEASURES CAN HOPEFULLY PREVENT ANOTHER CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF LIFE SOMETHING ELSE REBECCA MINDER TALKED ABOUT IS HOME INSURANCE. MINDER SAYS SHE AND HER HUSBAND DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH COVERAGE ON THEIR HOUSE WHEN THE STORM HIT. SHE URGES EVERYONE TO MAKE SURE THEIR HOME IS PROPERLY COVERED. LIVE IN TUSCALOOSA, CHIP SCARBOROUGH, WVT
