ABC – President Obama and the first lady surveyed storm damage and met with families of victims today in Tuscaloosa, Ala., one of the cities hardest hit by this week’s outbreak of tornadoes that have left at least 318 people dead across eight states.
“I’ve never seen devastation like this,” Obama said, standing amid the rubble left in the tornadoes’ wake. “It is hearbreaking.”
Obama spent almost two hours on ground, driving in his motorcade through a hard-hit commercial area to see demolished stores and businesses. He later walked through a residential neighborhood that was littered with mangled cars, tree limbs and personal possessions.
