How Many Lives Did They Help Save?

John Oldshue and Ben Greer downplay it the minute you ask, but the question can’t be denied: How many lives did they help save when Alabama was slammed by the killer storms of April 27th?

No one knows, but one thing is for sure. Countless people are probably alive right now, because of the live video feed they provided from a spot they chose near a bingo hall southwest of Tuscaloosa.
