The University of Alabama Rural Medical Scholars have set up a GoFundme page to raise $5,000 for a memorial plaque to honor the two Plantersville residents who died in the March 15 tornado.
The historical marker will be placed in Plantersville during a ceremony to "stand as a tribute to the victims and as a symbol of strength, hope, and remembrance for generations to come," according to the GoFundMe page.
The EF-3 tornado ripped through the small north Dallas County town during a line of severe storms on March 15, killing two and destroying several homes.
The plaque is a project of UA Rural Medical Scholars' Class 29 and is in partnership with the residents.
Go here for coverage of the tornado by the Black Belt News Network, including video and photos.
