Seven years ago on April 27 at 5:13 p.m., an EF4 tornado struck Tuscaloosa leaving death and destruction in its path. While the tornado spared the UA campus, its impact on the city and the University community was severe.
This Friday, April 27, at 5:13 p.m. Denny Chimes will sound 53 times in honor of those who died in Tuscaloosa County, including six UA students and one UA employee who had taken shelter off campus. At that time, we ask that you please pause to remember their lives and reflect upon the legacy they left us.
