Gloria Taylor dances in front of her recently restored home in the Black Creek Station neighborhood of Fultondale AL. She lost nearly the whole top floor when her neighbor’s house was slammed into it during the April 27th tornado. Gloria has survived both hurricane Katrina and a house fire in New Orleans before moving to Alabama. “It’s like Dorothy says, there’s no place like home,” she explains.
