Debris from a collapsed structure, including splintered wood, twisted metal, and a large damaged roof section, lies scattered under an overcast sky with bare trees in the background.

This picture was taken in the Watson Chapel area near Jacksonville, Alabama after the April 27, 2011 tornadoes struck. The tornado that struck here was an EF4. I was a volunteer helping with debris cleanup. The damage was devastating, but the area has since started to rebuild. I would like to send hope and prayers to the victims of this disaster.
