First lady meets young tornado victims in Alabama

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — First lady Michelle Obama on Wednesday visited a summer camp in Alabama for children impacted by last year’s tornadoes and was briefed on storm recovery efforts by local officials.

The first lady sat down with 78 children, many from homes damaged by last April’s tornadoes. She stopped to hug each child and was peppered with their questions as they made trail mix snacks as part of her push for healthier American eating habits. The gathering, called Camp Noah, was being held in an area of Birmingham hit hard by last April’s tornadoes.
