"If you're stuck in the middle of a pandemic and you're on a stay-at-home ordinance or if you're having to mask up and now you don't even have a home to stay in, what are you going to do? So, we want to help with things like that," said Decatur Church of Christ Outreach Minister Cody Michael.

Deadly tornado leaves path of destruction in Alabama
Fultondale, Alabama — A tornado that teared through the city overnight ripped roofs off homes, pulverized walls and scattered debris so high it showed up on radar.
Elliott Hernandez, 14, is the first confirmed fatality. He was hiding with his family in a basement when their home collapsed. Dozens more were injured.
"We have recovered six additional people who were trapped," said Fultondale Fire Department Chief Justin McKenzie.
Kim Turner was with her 2-year-old grandson Fisher when she heard the storm intensify.
"The house was just shaking, so I took him to the basement," she said. They got to safety just before a tree crushed their home. She's still emotional recounting their close call.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ala. (WBRC) - Jefferson County Superintendent Walter Gonsoulin confirmed Tuesday a 14-year-old boy, a 9th grader, was killed in the tornado in Fultondale Monday night.
The boy was identified by the Jefferson County Coroner Tuesday afternoon as Elliott Hernandez, a student at Fultondale High School.
“Out of respect for the family we don’t want to release too much information at this particular time,” said Dr. Gonsoulin. “But we do know that it’s a 14-year-old student in the 9th grade. Which, again, adds to the saddest of the situation.”
