Good morning, Tuscaloosa.

During Tuesday morning, Tuscaloosa police evacuated Spark by Hilton after a bomb-sniffing dog flagged a suspicious truck from U Haul in the parking lot; the hotel later reopened after no explosives were found and a few people were detained for questioning.

Nursing students at the University of Alabama College of Nursing took part in a disaster simulation today that mimicked a parking deck collapse and involved first responders—60 students acted as both victims and healthcare providers.

Trainers plan to hold similar drills every spring to prepare for severe weather emergencies.

Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox recalled watching the mile-wide tornado on April 27 from the city’s makeshift command center and fearing thousands might die.

He said officials quickly began search and rescue after the storm destroyed 13 percent of the city and that the memory remains a stark reminder of that day.

Alabama has not seen any scholarship players enter the spring transfer portal as of Tuesday morning—with only a few walk-ons leaving.

Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack credited head coach Kalen DeBoer for keeping players focused and said no new transfers will join the team if none enter by Saturday’s deadline.

Alabama guard Tyler Booker, who earned All-SEC honors as a team captain last season, will attend the NFL draft in Green Bay on Thursday — experts note his strong performance could make him a first-round pick.

His invitation reflects the NFL's confidence in his potential as he prepares for the draft.
