Alabama tornado and an '07/'08 TL

I was just watching the coverage of what happened and something caught my eye and I DVRed back and looked and certainly looks like a white 07/08 base model Acura TL--taillight style, location of front/back side marker lights, curvature of rear door, wheel covers, and I think those 3 slits at the back of the rear-window shelf are TL but I'm too lazy to go and look at my TL in the garage and see. I took a picture of it as I thought it might be of interest to our group here. Certainly shows the power of a tornado...

Wow, that's definitely a TL. I feel terrible for those folks.

Tuscaloosa AL is about an hour from the base. Some of our operating areas overfly the region. That area is just completely leveled. Was a massive tornado.

Sucks bad for those people. We're lucky it missed us.

How the hell does the tornado rip a wheel center cap off? Weird. Depressing to see but I'm sure there were many many other nice cars trashed. And of course the human losses were most depressing. Hopefully that guy is alright.

Not to make light of the tragedies that this planet has endured this year, but 2012 may never make it here if this prophecy holds true...

On the subject, that TL has seen better days. Hopefully, the owner is still around to see the light of day.

Can ya say "savage title"? My prayers to the victims. But Bible prophecy does talk about earthquakes, weather and such in the last days.
