MONTGOMERY-Governor Ivey has proclaimed April 27, 2021 as a Day of Remembrance in the state of Alabama.
On April 27, 2011, a series of long track tornadoes ripped through the state of Alabama in three waves across 35 of our 67 counties. Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 27, 2021 marks the 10th anniversary of this unprecedented natural disaster that took the lives of 254 Alabamians, injured more than 2,000 and devastated the state. While we will never forget the grave loss of life and devastation, we also reflect on how far we have come.
The governor’s proclamation.
To commemorate the 10th anniversary, Governor Ivey has also directed flags to remain displayed at half-staff on April 27.
