Cox m
arket manager David DuBose: "We were giving street-by-street projections on the storm’s path, and we continued warning as the storm approached Cullman and then into the western communities of Birmingham. By 9pm (last) Wednesday night, with many people hurting, without power, cell service, Internet and TV, only my radio stations stayed on the air all night providing emergency information, opening the phone lines, directing rescue teams to the injured, and helping to locate missing people.”

Citadel Birmingham has now filled 10 semi-trucks full of emergency supplies and delivered them to the hardest hit by recent tornadoes. The Citadel staff has been working around the clock since the tornadoes hit, more than 50 Citadel employees in Birmingham gave up their entire weekend to help more than 200 listener volunteers sort and load trucks. Thousands of listeners have dropped off supplies non-stop for four days.
