Security Officer Sucked Out of Guard Shack During Alabama Tornado
MONTGOMERY Ala. 1/1/25
A Montgomery security guard rode out an overnight Montgomery tornado Saturday by clinging to a cement pole, a coworker said.
Brian Knight was working for the security services company, Signal of Montgomery, a security services company, when the tornado struck.
Knight was “sucked out” of the security guard shack as the storm hit and he rode out the twister while clinging to a cement pole, said coworker Tracy Baker. Knight was taken to the hospital to be checked out and had minor injuries.
Knight could not immediately be reached for comment.
Baker set up a verified GoFundMe with a goal of $5,000 to replace Knight’s pickup, which was overturned during the storm.
Three tornado touchdowns have been confirmed in the Montgomery County areas of Hope Hull and Sprague early Sunday morning, according to the National Weather Service office in Birmingham.
