The April 27th Tornado that came through Tuscaloosa directly hit Fire Station 4 in Tuscaloosa. This is my station. My dive gear was in the engine room drying from a recent trip to the Gulf. The station was destroyed and all of our personal vehicles were totaled. My dive gear was completely gone. 4 days later I found my bc in a debris pile 1 block from the station!!!! It has looked better!!! Unfortunately the only other items I found were 1 boot, 2 busted weight pouches and a beanie! I knew I should have written down all of my dives from my computers log!! Luckily all of us in the station were unharmed.

Man do you need to take better care of your stuff. It looks like you drug it in the sand for about 100 yards. That is cool that you found it. Glad you are ok. Post some photos of the station. I am a vol fireman in Georgia and we had a bad storm come through one time. One of the stations got hit by lightning while they were on a call and caught on fire. That a tree fell across the road at there call and they could not get back to the station. They paged us to put out their station. It is always strange to me when a fire station gets hit.
