A look at national newspapers, with nearly 300 front pages showing coverage of the April 27 tornadoes that rampaged across Alabama.

Both recent national championships by the Alabama and Auburn football teams received some front page attention, but the weather-related disaster dominated many papers across the United States in the 2 days following.

    Is there any way that you can post these in a manner in which we can zoom in and read the articles? Many of us were without power for DAYS, & therefore we missed teh national media coverage of this horrific, once in a life time event that we experienced first hand. Now that we have power being restored, the national coverage has shifted to Osama’s assasination.

    Thanks so much for compiling these!

    Lou: I have built the slideshows which you can zoom to full screen and look at in good details. You can also embed them on your own blogs and websites.

    Take a look at them on the last page.

    Also, you’ll find quite a bit of tornado coverage archived on YouTube and other sites.
