Miller's Ferry, Alabama, Hit by Tornado As Enterprise Was

These pictures show the destruction at Miller's Ferry in Wilcox County, Alabama. A lot of my family came from Camden, Kimbrough, Lower Peach Tree, and other little towns in Wilcox County. When my dad worked at the Corps of Engineers, I think he worked on the dam at Miller's Ferry. I don't think I have any relatives left there anymore, except maybe a 4th cousin twice removed or something like that. In any case, Miller's Ferry is literally gone with the wind.

I was thinking about Camden lately when Hillary and Obama went down to Selma to campaign. To the extent that any of my relatives were involved, I imagine they were on what is now the wrong side (or at least sympathized with the wrong side) of the confrontation they were commemorating last weekend.
