Thomas and Annie Curry, who lost their home when a tornado struck Selma last month, will be guests of RepTerriSewell at tonight's State of the Union address. 'The Currys’ presence is emblematic of the resilience of Selmians,' said Sewell, a Selma native.
“I am honored to have the Curry Family of Selma join me as my special guests for President Biden’s 2023 State of the Union Address,” Sewell said in the announcement. “Tragically, the devastating January 12th storms completely destroyed the Currys’ home of over 50 years, displacing them from the place where they raised their five beautiful children.”
“The people of Alabama’s 7th District are strong, and the Curry Family is no exception. The Currys’ presence is emblematic of the resilience of Selmians and will put a spotlight on the dire needs of Selma and Dallas County and our request for additional federal assistance.” An EF-2 tornado hit Selma on Jan. 12 and left a large swath of damage in its path. The tornado had a path width of 800 yards and an estimated peak wind speed of 130 mph, according to a storm survey conducted by the National Weather Service forecast office in Birmingham.
Thomas Curry spent more than 30 years in the Air Force while Annie Curry worked for two decades as a schoolteacher. They raised five children in the home they lost.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
