Horrific Tornadoes In Alabama Killed 7 Members Of One Family

This breaks my heart.

Authorities have confirmed that the tornadoes in Alabama killed 23 people. They’ve released the names of the victims. Their ages range from 6 to 89. Seven of those victims were members of the same family.

“Just keep those families in your prayers,” Lee County Coroner Bill Harris said. “It’s a tragic situation.”

Lee County Coroner Bill Harris said seven people linked by marriage were killed in one home, AL.com reported. Eric Jamal Stenson, 38, Florel Tate Stenson, 63, and Henry Lewis Stenson, 65, were connected by marriage to James Henry Tate, 86, Maggie Delight Robinson, 57, Raymond Robinson Jr., 63, and Tresia Robinson, 62.

That’s just horrific. My heart breaks for the surviving family members. I can’t imagine losing 7 family members in one moment.

Additionally, four children were killed– they were 6, 8, 9 and 10.
